No, you're right. Somehow I didn't notice this possible simplification.

Yeah.

Subject: PM: Remove redundant checks from core device resume routines
Since a separate list of devices is used to link devices that have
completed each stage of suspend (or resume), it is not necessary to
check dev->power.status in the core device resume routines any more.
