Maybe I didn't fully understand your idea, but the problem here is
devices do not have dev_pm_ops.  Only busses, classes, and types have
dev_pm_ops.

Though I'm horribly unfamiliar with the intended usage of 'struct
device_type', an interesing discovery is that dev->type also has
dev_pm_ops, and it takes precedence over the bus type in the
suspend/resume.  IOW, when suspending, when deciding which dev_pm_ops to
use, it checks class, type, then bus in that order.

I need to explore this 'type' feature a little more, but using that or
the 'class' might be another way to have custom PM ops for certain
platform_devices.
