I don't really know. I'm mostly noting that today the order of suspend
is to suspend the bridge device first and then the aggregate device. If
the suspend of the aggregate device is traversing the devices like
drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() then it would operate on the bridge device
after it has been suspended, like is happening during shutdown. But it
looks like that isn't happening. At least for the msm driver we're
suspending the aggregate device after the bridge, and there are some
weird usages of prepare and complete in there (see msm_pm_prepare() and
msm_pm_complete) which makes me think that it's all working around this
component code.

The prepare phase is going to suspend the display pipeline, and then the
bridge device will run its suspend hooks, and then the aggregate driver
will run its suspend hooks. If we had a proper device for the aggregate
device instead of the bind/unbind component hooks we could clean this
up.
