A generic AMBA driver should have no idea about the implementation of
the particular SoC that it's integrated on to. This applies even more
to system suspend (where drivers can generally just assume that they
will loose all power normally) than it does to runtime suspend.

The power domain gets callbacks on the system suspend path too and can
do whatever is sensible there.

Yes, the power domain should just be handling this transparently.
