Suspend requires the device to be in fullsleep otherwise upon
resume the device becomes unresponsive. We need to ensure
that when we want the device to go to sleep it yields to
the request, otherwise we'll have a useless devices upon
resume. Warn when changing the power fails as we need
to look into these issues.
