[jes@ultrasam jes.git]$ find drivers/staging/rtl8723au -name \*.[ch] |xargs grep rtw_hw_resume
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/include/osdep_intf.h:int rtw_hw_resume23a(struct rtw_adapter *padapter);
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/os_dep/usb_intf.c:int rtw_hw_resume23a(struct rtw_adapter *padapter)
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/os_dep/usb_intf.c:		DBG_8723A("==> rtw_hw_resume23a\n");
[jes@ultrasam jes.git]$ find drivers/staging/rtl8723au -name \*.[ch] |xargs grep rtw_hw_suspend
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/include/osdep_intf.h:int rtw_hw_suspend23a(struct rtw_adapter *padapter);
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/os_dep/usb_intf.c:int rtw_hw_suspend23a(struct rtw_adapter *padapter)
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/os_dep/usb_intf.c:		DBG_8723A("==> rtw_hw_suspend23a\n");

A more useful patch would be one removing those two functions IMHO.
