That is conceivable, but again, the meaning of STANDBY and MEM is
platform-specific.  Actions to be taken for, say, STANDBY, may differ
from one platform to another.
True, though I would only expect drivers for that particular platform to
care about that information and these drivers would only make sense on
that particular platform so the meaning of STANDBY and MEM would be
clear for those drivers. The intent is really to keep the "distributed"
model where individual drivers manage their particular piece of HW,
while utilizing a global piece of information that is platform specific.

If this seems acceptable to you along with proper documentation to
illustrate the platform specific meaning of these states, I will got
ahead and cook a patch.
Well, that won't work for us. We need need two kind of information:
 - whether main clock is switched from the master clock to the slow
   clock
 - whether VDDcore will be cut

for the first one, we already have an hackish callback:
at91_suspend_entering_slow_clock() that will call from the platform
specific drivers.
Sounds like you need another "will_vddcore_be_cut?()" callback, not
"int platform_suspend_target_state(void)".

And actually I'd hope you have some kind of regulator, so that "will
this regulator be available over suspend" question can be asked?
