Hi,

   > Well system could check basic card ids if they match after resume

No.  That (arguably) guarantees that it's the same card, but not that
it wasn't modified in another machine during the suspend.

You should have a problem with it.  Taking a card from a suspended
machine and working on it with a different machine is not a bizarre
thing to want to do.
