I don't think we've seen this problem with system suspend, but with runtime suspend we could get a forced suspend request at any time (and frequently), so if there is a problem, it will be much more likely to occur.
For suspend, I don't think it's actually a "problem". Disabling the TX queue if it wasn't open is harmless--it just sets the DRV_XOFF bit in the TX queue state field. And we have a separate "enabled endpoints" mask that prevents stopping or suspending the endpoint if it wasn't opened.
But for resume, waking the queue schedules it. I'm not sure what exactly ensues in that case, but it's not correct if the network device hasn't been opened. For endpoints, again, they won't be resumed if they weren't enabled, so that part's OK.

I don't use rtnl_lock()/rtnl_unlock() *anywhere* in the driver. It has no netlink interface (yet), and therefore I didn't even think about using rtnl_lock(). Do I need it?

I think it isn't possible, but I'm less than 100% sure. I've been thinking a lot about exactly this sort of question lately...

None of them take that lock. It is called in the driver ->remove callback, and is called during cleanup if the modem crashes.
I think this fix is good, but as I said in the cover letter I'm not aware of ever having hit it to date.
Thank you very much for your review and comments.
