Since I lack a bit clue about how the pm stuff works exactly: Is there
a ready-made helper for that kind of synchronization, where a notifier
callback can be called from a different device's resume callbacks,
which is someplace completely unrelated in the device-tree? Or any
anti-patterns to avoid?
