OK, I made some small adjustment to make it compiled without pm_trace
configured, and this version is absolutely more professional than
my previous one. I'll do some testing based on it.
Besides I have another question related to the untain
of the pm_trace_rtc_abused flag: after resume back, if the user disabled
the pm_trace, then the following suspend/resume sleep time should become
valid again IMO, because we use the delta rather than the RTC itself for
suspend/resume. So in this version it disable the injection of sleep time
once pm_trace has been used?

Thanks,
Yu
