sure - i have applied it to tip/out-of-tree. I'm equally nervous about
this change - it affects every suspend+resume cycle that people do on
those boxes which are working just fine currently.
btw., it would get a lot more coverage on my test-systems if this commit
in tip/out-of-tree:

| sleepy linux self-test
was upstream and if it was enabled more prominently, instead of hidden
behind the rather obscure condition of:
config PM_TEST_SUSPEND
bool "Test suspend/resume and wakealarm during bootup"
depends on SUSPEND && PM_DEBUG && RTC_LIB=y
and even then it needs certain other config options related to RTC_LIB
to actually work during bootup.
As a result of all this obstruction, the automated testing i do, which
builds and boots more than 1 random kernel per minute, will only run
this self-test once every hour or so.
I dont mind if this option breaks boxes (that its purpose: it does the
same thing that a real suspend+resume does and suspend+resume frequently
breaks boxes), but right now it's all obscured so heavily which makes
automated testing a lot harder than it should be.
it would be wonderful if this excellent suspend+resume self-test was
upstream and was more prominent! :-)
