This is a load of crap. If probe() fails that means that driver does not
manage the device and thus ads7846_suspend() and ads7846_resume() should
not be called _at all_. If SPI core manages to call random methods from
the drivers that failed to bind to a device that should be fixed in SPI
core.

Thanks.
