Yes, they would.  In general, you'd probably want to do something like this:

static struct dev_pm_ops au1xmmc_pmops = {
	.resume		= au1xmmc_resume,
	.suspend		= au1xmmc_suspend,
	.freeze		= au1xmmc_resume,
	.thaw		= au1xmmc_suspend,
	.restore		= au1xmmc_resume,
	.poweroff	= au1xmmc_suspend,
};

but in this particular case it's probably better to define separate callbacks
for .freeze() and .thaw() at least.

During hibernation we call .freeze() and .thaw() before and after creating
the image, respectively, and then .poweroff() is called right after the image
has been saved.  During resume .freeze() is called after the image has been
loaded and before the control goes to the image kernel, which then calls
.restore().

HTH

I see I forgot about that myself.  I'll fix up the floppy and hp-wmi patches.

Best,
Rafael
