Hi Robert Beatty

Devices are currently suspended currently when device is entering into Deep Sleep state through their Suspend Handler.

Can you please elaborate on following points :-
What is the nature/definition/scope of "catastrophic shutdown".
Is some event is triggering this shutdown ?
Is this shutdown due to some hardware failure event ?
Who will trigger forceful shutdown, software (OS/Application) or some button press event (GPIO) ?

Implement a notification mechanism from application to kernel to handle system events which impacts the performance/functionality of the application.

Closing the Issue as PR was already merged to force suspend devices.
