Dave Martin 2846d84ffa ARM: 6940/1: fiq: Briefly document driver responsibilities for suspend/resume
Drivers which make use of the FIQ interrupt may require the state
of the FIQ mode registers to be preserved across suspend/resume.

Because the FIQ mode registers are not saved and restored
automatically by the kernel, driver authors will need to do the
appropriate save/restore in their own driver suspend/resume
handlers.

Implementing global automatic save/restore of the FIQ state does
not appear appropriate, since this by itself is not sufficient for
FIQ-based drivers to function correctly across suspend/resume in
any case.

This patch adds a brief explanatory note to fiq.h documenting the
requirement placed on driver authors.
