Comment:

 This is really two issues.

 1. OFW does not have a USB "HID" driver and thus does not support USB
 mice.  Patches to add such a driver would be welcome, but the capability
 is not critical for OFW's intended use cases, so this is not a work item
 for me.

 2. OFW's "s" command is intended as a simple test for the core
 suspend/resume functionality of putting the CPU to sleep and waking it
 back up.  OFW does not even attempt to save and restore the
 state/functionality of peripherals "far away" from the CPU, such as those
 on the USB bus.

 Closing as "wontfix" because the enhancements are outside the scope of the
 OFW use cases.  As indicated above, should someone else wish to offer
 patches to implement such enhancements, I will consider them, with the
 proviso that such extensions of use cases increase the long-term testing
 and maintenance effort.

 I will also consider suggestions that additional use cases be added, with
 priority given to use cases that benefit children in deployments and that
 decrease manufacturing or field support costs.
