There are three ways pseries_suspend_begin() can be reached:
1. When "mem" is written to /sys/power/state:
kobj_attr_store()
-> state_store()
-> pm_suspend()
-> suspend_devices_and_enter()
-> pseries_suspend_begin()
This never works because there is no way to supply a valid stream id
using this interface, and H_VASI_STATE is called with a stream id of
zero. So this call path is useless at best.
2. When a stream id is written to /sys/devices/system/power/hibernate.
pseries_suspend_begin() is polled directly from store_hibernate()
until the stream is in the "Suspending" state (i.e. the platform is
ready for the OS to suspend execution):
dev_attr_store()
-> store_hibernate()
-> pseries_suspend_begin()
3. When a stream id is written to /sys/devices/system/power/hibernate
(continued). After #2, pseries_suspend_begin() is called once again
from the pm core:
dev_attr_store()
-> store_hibernate()
-> pm_suspend()
-> suspend_devices_and_enter()
-> pseries_suspend_begin()
This is redundant because the VASI suspend state is already known to
be Suspending.
The begin() callback of platform_suspend_ops is optional, so we can
simply remove that assignment with no loss of function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
