That's an interesting question. Part of direct complete is to leave
the device runtime suspended even after the system resumes if
possible. The comments in pm_complete_with_resume_check indicate that
the firmware may resume a device. I could see this happening with some
kind of SCSI device.

If this is possible, are we able to put the device back into a
consistent state (runtime suspended) by calling suspend for the scsi
device? If not, we might need to use pm_complete_with_resume_check for
the complete callback.
