The kernel's job is to make hardware work. If the hardware works under 
another OS, then it failing to work in Linux is a bug in Linux. So, yes, 
the correct place to fix this sort of thing is in the kernel rather than 
your DSDT.

However, please note that the DSDT is almost entirely irrelevant when it 
comes to things like suspend/resume. Modifying it is hugely unlikely to 
make things work there.
