When suspend is done, resume must not be done.
I don’t see a need to mix these operations from guest specially when suspend is done.

Did I miss your response for my suggestion few days ago in [1] for not mixing reset with suspend?

When new feature bit of suspend is offered, guest will _not_ do reset, hence no need to mix reset with suspend.
