That seems reasonable to me.

To be clear.  Has someone picked up this patch yet?

Acked-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

As for reboot it tends to always work because frequently the firmware
code triggers a soft reset of the entire machine, which puts devices in
their power on reset state, which is not a suspended state.  Although
that behavior is not required for a software reboot.
