-** Functions to modify the state variables;
-**	set_suspend_state
-**	set_resume_state
-**
-** There are more state variables than we might like, so ensure they remain in
-** step.  Suspend and resume state are maintained separately, since most of
-** these state machines can operate independently.  However, there are a few
-** states where state transitions in one state machine cause a reset to the
-** other state machine.  In addition, there are some completion events which
-** need to occur on state machine reset and end-state(s), so these are also
-** dealt with in these functions.
-**
-** In all states we set the state variable according to the input, but in some
-** cases we perform additional steps outlined below;
-**
-** VC_SUSPEND_IDLE - Initialise the suspend completion at the same time.
-**			The suspend completion is completed after any suspend
-**			attempt.  When we reset the state machine we also reset
-**			the completion.  This reset occurs when videocore is
-**			resumed, and also if we initiate suspend after a suspend
-**			failure.
-**
-** VC_SUSPEND_IN_PROGRESS - This state is considered the point of no return for
-**			suspend - ie from this point on we must try to suspend
-**			before resuming can occur.  We therefore also reset the
-**			resume state machine to VC_RESUME_IDLE in this state.
-**
-** VC_RESUME_IDLE - Initialise the resume completion at the same time.  The
-**			resume completion is in it's 'done' state whenever
-**			videcore is running.  Therefore, the VC_RESUME_IDLE
-**			state implies that videocore is suspended.
-**			Hence, any thread which needs to wait until videocore is
-**			running can wait on this completion - it will only block
-**			if videocore is suspended.
