From 303f0847925ece27129487a2bfc05199ab2a0b51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:08:53 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] USB: adds comment on suspend callback This patch adds comments on interface driver suspend callback to emphasize that the failure return value is ignored by USB core in system sleep context, so do not try to recover device for this case and let resume/reset_resume callback handle the suspend failure if needed. Also kerneldoc for usb_suspend_both() is updated with the fact.
