I admit I got that backwards. I copied and pasted a line, that was 
supposed to read "We can not go" ... The point was that persistent or 
RTC clock is _not_ always available,
so we have to print suspend times when the timeofday clock is available 
at the points before suspend, and after suspend is complete.

The "Suspended for" message (in ms, we want us at least) albeit helpful, 
is performed at the bottom, and can only be reported if there is a 
persistent clock available. On most Android devices, it is not available.

I will post update, a better description in the primary patch, dropping 
the intro, printing in <epoch>.<ns> format. I asked in another thread if 
it would be OK to preserve the Legacy of RTC time format printing with 
another CONFIG parameter since we have 5 years of tooling that depends 
on that format.
