It shouldn't hurt to do this, but I'm curious if you did any digging
about why this happens?  As I understood it suspend order is supposed
to be opposite of probe order.  Thus anything that was able to get a
reference to the cros-ec PWM at its probe time should get suspended
before cros-ec suspends.
