As mentioned previously, we didn't know this was an option (stubs
without an implementation behind them).  If it is, and thus we can
simplify the driver merging process short-term while sorting out a
long-term implementation or replacement for suspend blockers, then I
think we're making real progress.

There is no reason that drivers that support suspend blockers cannot
(or should not) support regular suspend/resume or runtime
suspend/resume, so that shouldn't be a worry.  The various operating
modes complement, not compete with each other (we want the lowest
possible power consumption in all states, be that fully active, fully
suspended, or anything in between -- I think everyone involved agrees
with this).

Total agreement.
