Now generic libertas driver controls power, not if_spi. So it should be able 
to turn off card before going suspend. Messing with power in if_* and generic 
part does not look like a good idea to me.

My resume handler calls lbs_suspend to detach device, and it expects that 
lbs_suspend will disable card power.
