I am also seeing a regression on tegra30-cardhu-a04 when testing system suspend on -next. Bisect is pointing to this commit and reverting on top of -next fixes the problem. Unfortunately, there is no crash dump observed, but the device hangs somewhere when testing suspend. I have not looked into this any further but wanted to report the problem. Cheers Jon -- nvpublic
