While I'm not disagreeing with this entirely, I have a concern.

There are two types of suspend in Linux these days, runtime suspend and
system suspend.  What this is about is "device suspend during system
suspend" only, so the flag name is somewhat confusing.

Also the flag is only going to be used for consoles, so why don't you
introduce a PNP_CONSOLE flag and then define pnp_can_suspend() as

static inline pnp_can_suspend(struct pnp_dev *pnp_dev)
{
	return pnp_dev->protocol->suspend &&
		 (!(pnp_dev->capabilities & PNP_CONSOLE) || console_suspend_enabled);
}
