I would much rather see this fixed in the driver itself.

For the time being, a "dummy" suspend routine could look like this:

static int foo_suspend(struct usb_interface *intf, pm_message_t msg)
{
up(&intf->dev.sem);
device_release_driver(&intf->dev);
down(&intf->dev.sem);
return 0;
}

Getting reprobed during resume would be more difficult; it would need help
from userspace.

Maybe UEAGLE can do something a little more sensible...
