This part seems unnecessary.  There is only one USB device driver, it is
built into the USB core, and it does have the appropriate methods.  
Checking isn't needed.

Now perhaps you would prefer to check the USB interface drivers -- there 
are many of them, and quite a few don't have suspend or resume methods.  
You would need to modify usb_register_driver() instead of 
usb_register_device_driver().

On the other hand, the drivers' maintainers are probably quite aware of 
the missing PM support, so it's not clear that printing out warning 
messages will actually help anybody.
