The idea should be fine, but may cause regression of user space, suppose one device with suspend failure can be across suspend-resume cycle and work well before, but it is no longer with your forced rebinding. > > I am not going to fight this any longer.

I agree, resume() of driver has to handle the suspend failure if there is the failure returned from suspend().
