Absolutely, physmasp subdevices are never initialized/registered, so
you can't call any of the mtd helpers taking the suspend lock on those.
I guess it'd be better to call mtd_suspend/resume() on the concat device
in though:

static void physmap_flash_shutdown(struct platform_device *dev)
{
	struct physmap_flash_info *info = platform_get_drvdata(dev);

	mtd_suspend(info->cmtd);
}
