Sure...but this driver _should_ disable on suspend. But who knows...my
guess is that if anyone has tried suspending this device, it works
anyway on resume.

I think both cases are wrong. I'm pretty sure enable/disable should be
symmetric for both "init_one/remove_one"  and suspend/resume.  I'm not
aware of any reason why they would not be.
