commit 42a3b63bb2ca4996a3d1210a004eae2333f1119e Dave, Here are a few more fixes intended for the 3.2 release. They are all small and narrowly focused.John, I've made a mistake and didn't use [PATCH 3.2] header to make it clean my patch is fix. Could you take a look at [PATCH] bcma: support for suspend and resume please? It's not one-liner, but fixes lock ups, which I believe - we really want to avoid.It's late in the release cycle, and Dave specifically asked me to slow down. Are these suspend/resume lockups a regression? Or have they always been there? Do they happen to everyone?The bug is present since first days of bcma. That's why I even decided to add stable to CC. Personally I've tested that only on 1 machine (I don't have more suspendable machines with mini PCIe slot). However all Macbook 8.1/8.2 users have to remove b43 & bcma before suspending [0], they complain about that since ever. Arend: I know you're also complaining for suspend in bcma. Can you comment on this? [0] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1695746
User nephyrin on #bcm-users has confirmed this patch fixes suspend&resume for him. Without this patch he got deadlock without seeing any kernel panic logs - quite an ugly case. I still think this patch may be worth taking as fix and backporting too. -- Rafał
