Hi Fabio:
Regarding my understand, the suspend/resume callbacks would be hooked if the
 probe is complete successfully. There would be extra more than 100ms delay
 in every system resume operations.
I'm afraid that it would bring bad experience for the power management.

Is there a policy that we should obey, and let the probe complete without
an error return?
If yes, I can follow your suggestion, wouldn't return an error on probe when
link is down.

Thanks.
