Yes. I have noticed that the approach for this is random. Many drivers pass
NULL directly to the dev_pm_ops type variable, and rest of them use a macro.

I used it for symmetry. I mean there is 'gpu_i2c_resume', so although a macro,
I have put a 'gpu_i2c_suspend'.

Although it won't make any significant change, but if required, I can send
another patch where NULL is passed into UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS() instead.

Thanks for debugging. Theoretically too, according to generic framework, drivers
are supposed to do only device specific jobs. If there is none, or callback is
set as NULL, remaining work to put the device in lower power state is PCI
stack's task.
