Did you test this? I think it can't work.
mac80211's suspend calls stop operation before rtl8187_suspend() is run. So the
actual suspend operations runs without suspend flag set.
I think setting a flag is wrong. I also did that mistake in the broadcom driver
and it's wrong. IMO the LED register/unregister code must be completely removed
from the start/stop suspend/resume and hibernate paths. Instead the LEDs must be
registered at device attach phase (that's where the device is registered to mac80211).
