I tried this patch set and it does work. :)
But unfortunately it doesn't save too much time.

I still think that the child device should inherit its parent's
async_suspend flag to do the asynchronous resume more efficiently.

or at least we should provide such an interface
in drivers/base/power/common.c, so that device can tell the device core
to inherit this flag if there is no off-tree dependency.
