What Oliver and I have been discussing is delaying the probe call until
after resume is finished, when userspace is back up and everything is

code, but it definitely can be done.

What about the case where the firmware that needs to be loaded is on the
USB device that needs the firmware. This can be resolved at boot using
an initrd but at resume time we don't have that.

Thanks,
