A device is not able to use direct complete if its children do not also use direct complete. Even though the SCSI layer leaves devices runtime suspended, the way it does it still prevents its parent from using direct complete.Okay. Do you need to provide ->complete() hook that then resumes the device when system is resumed (since the device resume hook is never called when direct_complete is set)? Along the lines of pm_complete_with_resume_check().
That's an interesting question. Part of direct complete is to leave the device runtime suspended even after the system resumes if possible. The comments in pm_complete_with_resume_check indicate that the firmware may resume a device. I could see this happening with some kind of SCSI device. If this is possible, are we able to put the device back into a consistent state (runtime suspended) by calling suspend for the scsi device? If not, we might need to use pm_complete_with_resume_check for the complete callback.
