It sounds very weird you have to add a PM notifier in this driver.

Have you been facing an issue or do you assume it could happen ?

I don't see how it couldn't be racy. What prevents suspend to occur
right after this check ?

Hmm, it could be interesting if Viresh can give its opinion on this
patch [cc'ed].
