maybe we should implement such thing into the firmware loader itself?
Allow it -- for example via some node in /dev -- to force loading
firmware into some buffer in kernel just before suspend so it'll
certainly be readily available at resume time?

This is difficult. We don't know at suspend time which firmware we will
need at resume time.

That's not actually true ... you can ask the drivers if they need to load
firmware after resume ... that can be implemented and udev can handle it.
The driver should know if the hardware it's controlling is stupid or
not.

Device IDs can morph due to a power loss. After resumption another driver
would bind.

What do you mean? I don't think I quite follow.
