Do you mean that V4L core takes care of stopping the streami on suspend
and re-starting it on resume from suspend?

All userspace is frozen on suspend. System suspension is transparent for
userspace applications. I'm not sure what you're meaning here.

I don't understand why freezing is needed at all if V4L core takes care
of stopping the stream on suspend, what is the point? If there is no
real point, then let's make threads non-freezable and done with that.
