Do you have anything attached to the FireWire bus?  What controller do
you have?

As first quick thought:  While we of course need to have a look at
firewire-ohci changes, it could also be a higher-level issue in
firewire-core.  E.g. something with the 2.6.36 workqueue related core
kernel changes.  (I am only saying so because I noticed some module
unloading issues with the firewire stack lately that seem workqueue
related.)

I admit that PM suspend/resume or hibernate/restore are not part of my
personal firewire driver testing regime.  I need to address that.

I Cc'd Maxim Levitsky who has working firewire suspend/resume on
2.6.37-rc, although with some minor firewire-net related and
isochronous I/O related nits for which he sent fixes lately:

http://marc.info/?l=linux1394-devel&m=129099666021798
But I do not think that these could matter to your hang-at-resume issue.
