What prevents the check from changing state right after you call this?

Same here, what's keeping the state from changing?

What could go wrong with poking into a random device structure's private
data that you don't know the type of? :(

I predict, that if this all does get implemented, we're going to have a
lot of confusion of "why will my devices not go into suspend?"
questions, right?

How does userspace know if a device is controlled by a sideband path or
not? Is there some sysfs link somewhere, and does any tool show it
anyway?
