Oh, *that's* why it looked so weird.  Removing the addresses doesn't
help here, the issue isn't that the addresses are confusing it's that
you had a tiny commit message dwarfed by the backtrace preamble then a
screenful of call stack which conveyed no meaningful information,
including not just the entire callback path for a suspend (which doesn't
tell us anything really, especially beyond the first frame) and going on
to show the entire call stack from the sysfs write you used to trigger
suspend which is even less relevant.

This gives us 30 lines or so of splat (more than a screenful) for five
lines of actual content with the important bit which describes what the
change is supposed to be doing buried at the bottom.  That's a really
bad signal to noise ratio.  What would've been better would be
explaining why the change you are making fixes the problem.
