Thanks very much for tracking this down!  The code suggests that
POST_RESTORE is only emitted on a *failed* hibernation restore --
from include/linux/notifier.h:

/* Hibernation and suspend events */
#define PM_POST_HIBERNATION     0x0002 /* Hibernation finished */
#define PM_POST_SUSPEND         0x0004 /* Suspend finished */
#define PM_POST_RESTORE         0x0006 /* Restore failed */

So, this all suggests that we want to add the POST_RESTORE case but
also want to keep the POST_HIBERNATION case.  Do you agree?  Was the 
case you saw of failed probe after hibernation a failed restore from
hibernation image?

By the way, it looks like there are some other drivers which also
test for POST_HIBERNATION but not POST_RESTORE:

  drivers/media/video/tlg2300/pd-main.c
  drivers/s390/char/vmwatchdog.c
  drivers/s390/cio/css.c
  drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmfmac/dhd_linux.c

Thanks,

- Chris.
