SYS_ERR state is a valid case while resuming from suspend. The "force" flag is
supposed to be used by controllers that goes to a weird state like RESET. If we
just add check for RESET, then we might get another scenario in future. That's
why the "force" flag made sense to me.

If we want to handle SYS_ERR then we need to check for that before M3 and that
can be done in a separate patch. But since we didn't hit this scenario till now,
let's handle it later if needed.

Thanks,
Mani
