A device driver is asked to do things that a higher layer should do. But this should point us to not using this code unless really necessary. If the bus is physically detached and reattached we can do nothing. If the issue is suspension than we can resonably assume that if a device that looks like the device previously at that physical location is at that location it really is the same device. We should under no circumstances throw away that information, which we currently do.
