Yeah duplicating in suspend won't call atomic_check. Restoring the
duplicated state on resume will (or there's going to be lots of broken
drivers).

It's not needed, and might possible paper over driver bugs ...

... because of this reason. If your driver can't recompute the private
state from just the duplicated uapi-relevant states it's broken. Because
essentially the exact same thing might happen through the atomic ioctl
from userspace.

Hence my question: Why do you need this?
