Looks like this is the initial issue. Does the rmi device lose power
while suspended? if so could it be that enabling async_suspend makes
the device resuming earlier, at a time it is not yet ready? What if
you simply start with a naive msleep(200) in rmi_smb_resume()?
The rmi4 bus does not rely on generic device suspend/resume
infrastructure for its subdevices, so async_suspend should only impact
the moment at which the smbus rmi4 root device is resumed, but not the
way it and its subdevices are resumed.
Would be interesting to get some pm_debug/pm_trace to compare the
good/bad cases.
