Yes, the only resource that this device needs for power management is
the ACPI power resources. The device does not support suspend/resume via
traditional _PS0 and _PS3 calls. ACPI power resources are initialized
during power up while ACPI is being enumerated.

The probing of the HIDMA driver happens much afterwards.
