There's a lot of power management situations where you don't end up with 
the optimal power configuration until a driver's bound. It's certainly 
possible to do this in userspace, but if we know that the hardware 
supported by a given driver will always work then it seems reasonable to 
have it whitelist autosuspend on that device.
