That is OK for me. But I do not see any point adding incomplete or wrong documentation. The above is incomplete because it ignores the failure and still return an error. And it is wrong because we ignore an error we cannot possibly handle in resume. Only the subdriver can do that, which is why we must delegate this to the subdriver. I believe the correct here is to document the fact that we require the subdriver->suspend() callback to always return 0 if !PMSG_IS_AUTO(message). That is best done with a comment. No need to add any redundant code.
