What kind of system suspend are you referring to?  Suspend-to-idle or
suspend-to-RAM?

For suspend-to-RAM this series should not be necessary at all, because
drivers cannot assume that the state of devices will be preserved
anyway in this case.

For suspend-to-idle, drivers can expect the preservation of the device
state, so perhaps the firmware should be prevented from powering them
off in the suspend-to-idle path instead.
