Agreed.

Also, the fan comes out of warm and cold reboot in mode AUTO and
when the driver is enabled, the fan is turned off on the next run of
thermal_zone_device_update() when the read out temperature is within
limits.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only reason I see for setting the
fan to mode AUTO before suspending/hibernating/etc is if it is taking
a really long time to hibernate and write RAM image to disk and the
machine is getting hot during that process. Otherwise, we might just
as well do _nothing_ when suspending and remove all suspend/resume
functionality altogether, no?
