It is the driver responsibility to know how to suspend and resume a
device it manages, and it does that by implementing appropriate
suspend/resume callbacks.

The suspend framework knows which drivers implement suspend/resume and
calls them appropriately (based on parenting/bus hierarchy), but it
won't automatigally do anything because there is no such thing as magic
when it comes to suspending hardware, this needs to be a controlled
sequence.
