With this fix, suspend/resume ordering is broken on my side. What do you 
think to keep the STATELESS flag and to only display a warn if 
"device_link_add" returns an error ? It's not "smart" but it could 
solved our issue.

As a lot of improvements have been recently done on device link topic by 
Saravana, we could check with him what is the way to follow.
