[patch 0/9] smsc-ircc2: sysfs, suspend and other patches

[Dmitry Torokhov]

[ This is a resend. I apologize if you already received copy of these
   patches...]

Hi,

The following patches attempt to convert smsc-ircc2 driver to the new
power management scheme by registering driver/device as platform device.
Additionally, suspend and resume methods were adjusted to keep network
device open and not release IRQ/DMA upon suspend to make sure that they
will still be available at resume time (IRQ and DMA simply disabled when
suspending). Plus there some less significant cleanups.

The resulting driver loads on my laptop and survives swsusp suspend/resume
cycle. Borrowed windows laptop recognizes and is being recognzed when
moved into vicinity of the box. Unfortunately I was not able to test any
higher-level protocols because IRDA connection would not stay on, but
it is the same with the original driver as well.

I would appreciate if owners of laptops with this chip could give these
patches a try. Thanks!
