BTW, IMO thaw() should not be empty, because drivers/base/power/main.c: 
pm_op() uses ops->thaw for both PM_EVENT_THAW and PM_EVENT_RECOVER.

PMSG_RECOVER is the same as PM_EVENT_RECOVER.

If some step in hibernation_snapshot() -> create_image() fails, we call 
dpm_resume_start(PMSG_RECOVER) at the end of create_image(), and call
dpm_resume() in hibernation_snapshot(). An empty thaw() can not bring the
device back to normal.
