I think cpufreq is just one of the users which broke. Others didn't break
because:

- They don't have a complicated resume part.
- Or we just don't know that they broke.

Resuming something that never suspended is just broken by design. Yeah, its much
simpler in this particular case to fix cpufreq core but the
suspend/resume/hibernation part is really core kernel and should be fixed to
avoid such band-aids.
