This driver doesn't support reset_resume() so that shouldn't be an
issue, right? We'd disconnect (deregister the gpiochip) and re-probe
instead.

This patch just added the missing auto-resume handling, but, yeah,
there may be devices out there for which things may get out of sync if
they lose state over suspend. I think Karoly confirmed this wasn't the
case with cp210x.
