We are attaching to AIPS power domain. So any device that will resume
will have first to power up the domain which in turn will configure the bridge.

So with this it doesn't really matter the suspend/resume order
becasuse the notifier
that will configure the bridge is already register.

But I wonder if there could be a problem if a device goes
suspend/resume before the bridge
probe function gets a chance to be called.
