That's why I suggested not unregistering these devices until after everything else has been resumed and the rwsem has been dropped. Another thing to watch out for: Just in case somebody ends up calling destroy_suspended_device(dev) from within dev's own resume method, you should interchange the resume_device() and the list_move_tail() calls in dpm_resume().
