Because this "hang" issue is occurred on ASUS T100(Baytrail-T platform), so I checked its DSDT and found that URT and I2C controllers depend on(_DEP) PEPD device(description in Windows is "power engine plug-in"). That is, URT and I2C controllers can not transition to ACPI_STATE_D0 state until PEPD device has completed this transition during resuming. But, the ACPI subsystem in the 3.16 kernel doesn't support "_DEP" feature. So, if enabling async suspend/resume for LPSS devices, their "_DEP" relationship with PEPD device will be broken and incur "hang" during the transition to ACPI_STATE_D0, please see the following code, it is from dpm_resume_early function in drivers/base/power/main.c file:

Maybe,the "_DEP" ACPI feature will be supported in future kernel, so, I think simply disabling async suspend/resume for LPSS devices is a acceptable workaround now, and need not add new mechanism to deal with this issue.

That was supposed to be an exception.

Please feel free to submit a patch adding a command line switch to set the
initial value of /sys/power/pm_async. Maybe people won't complain about it.
