(CC'ing Linus, since disabling consoles during suspend was his idea IIRC)

Yes.

However, we don't know which consoles are safe to stay alive during suspend.
Generally, defaulting to suspending them all is not a bad idea IMHO.
And IIRC it is plain luck if a serial console survives the suspend (or was
the serial code fixed recently?)

So i do not care too much, but my / Frank's patch was shorter :-) and safer.
