Rafael,

Correct. device_pm_add() triggers for all devices that use the driver.
On the other hand, the check is done only when the device gets added to
the pm core. I do like that part.

I am testing with adding checks driver_register() to look for suspend at
bus level. I am not seeing the same set of drivers I saw with the check
in device_pm_add(), which is puzzling. I am working on testing still.
Keep you posted.
