Hrm.  Possibly just some fiddling with those or alternative versions.
For example, looking at the I2C bus suspend it's this:

static int i2c_device_pm_suspend(struct device *dev)
{
	const struct dev_pm_ops *pm = dev->driver ? dev->driver->pm : NULL;

	if (pm) {
		if (pm_runtime_suspended(dev))
			return 0;
		else
			return pm->suspend ? pm->suspend(dev) : 0;
	}

	return i2c_legacy_suspend(dev, PMSG_SUSPEND);
}

Ideally the if (pm) block could just be factored out into the pm core as
there's nothing I2C-specific about that at all.  Possibly even the whole
logic surrounding fall back to legacy, though that smells a bit.  The
generic suspend operation doesn't fit here:

int pm_generic_suspend(struct device *dev)
{
	return __pm_generic_call(dev, PM_EVENT_SUSPEND);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pm_generic_suspend);
