Since the driver doesn't do anything upon resume, it _is_ _going_ to
resume just fine. If not, then the problem is located somewhere else,
i.e. you can safely assume that you are resuming ok. Also, it's not like
this is the only verbose printk you have in the driver to not be able to
follow what's going on...
