Did you set the async_suspend flag for any devices during the test?  
And did you run more than one suspend/resume cycle?

Sorry, I intended to mention this before but forgot.  This design is
inelegant.  You shouldn't have inlines calling functions with extra
unused arguments; they just waste code space.  Make dpm_wait() be a
real routine and add a shim to the device_for_each_child() loop.

You're still doing it.  Don't initialize the completions in a totally
different phase!  Initialize them directly before they are used.  
Namely, at the start of device_resume() and device_suspend().

One more thing.  A logical time to check for errors is just after
waiting for the children in __device_suspend(), instead of beforehand 
in async_suspend().  After all, if an error occurs then it's likely to 
happen while we are waiting.
