Shardar, Laxman, any thoughts on this? The is_suspended thing looks to
me like a workaround of some sort that may not be needed if clients have
proper suspend/resume implementations. Even without suspend/resume
support in client drivers, the driver core should resume devices in the
right order (I2C adapter before any of the clients), so I don't see any
cases where the is_suspended logic would be useful.
