What you have above does not describe what happens to work already queue to a
WQ_FREEZABLE workqueue when the system gets suspended, and that is the most
important thing.

I ended up doing that investigation myself and found the documentation on
WQ_FREEZABLE seems to be accurate. I am still discussing this with the Linaro
power management team and will get back to you when we reach a conclusion.
