I don't understand what you are asking. usb-storage _does_ know when the system is resuming. It does not assign device names (sda, sdb, etc.) -- the SCSI disk driver does that. Remember, usb-storage handles all sorts of mass-storage devices, not just disks or flash memories. Also, isn't this exactly what happens now? If you leave a USB key plugged in as /dev/sda and mounted, then suspend and resume, don't you find the key has moved to /dev/sdb? So what do you want to change?
