I didn't follow this.

In the time before the device is suspended it should have generated
data and this can be sent to the userspace. Providing the suspend delay
is longer than the buffer size of the hardware then there won't
necessarily be performance problems because the device is "full" when
it is suspended.

Of course if the hardware loses state when it is suspended then the
driver would need extra code on the PM paths to preserve the data...
