You should definitely not take the concat lock here, the framework does
it for you, so all you'll get is a deadlock.

You're returning with the lock held => DEADLOCK next time you try to
acquire it.

Anyway, as mentioned in my review of patch 1, I'd go for this ad-hoc
solution:


	for (i = 0; i < concat->num_subdev; i++) {
		rc = subdev->_suspend ? subdev->_suspend(subdev) : 0;
		if (rc < 0)
			return rc;
	}

	return 0;

No down/up_write() needed:

  	for (i = 0; i < concat->num_subdev; i++) {
  		struct mtd_info *subdev = concat->subdev[i];
		if (subdev->_resume)
			subdev->_resume(subdev);

	}
