I applied the patch and this is the result of 'dmesg | grep ERR' after 10-or-so
consecutive suspend-resume and hibernate-resume cycles:
[ 129.008689] ERR!! btusb_waker+0x0/0x27 [btusb]
[ 166.477373] ERR!! btusb_waker+0x0/0x27 [btusb]
[ 203.983665] ERR!! btusb_waker+0x0/0x27 [btusb]
[ 241.636547] ERR!! btusb_waker+0x0/0x27 [btusb]
which kind of confirms my previous observation that the problem was not
reproducible without Bluetooth.
So, it looks like the bug is in btusb_destruct(), which should call
cancel_work_sync() on data->waker before freeing 'data'. I guess it should
do the same for data->work.
I'm going to test the appended patch, then.
Thanks,
Rafael
