But I'm currently also trying to work out why that macbook air no
longer comes back from a suspend alive, and it looks like it may be
another problem with that brcmsmac driver. The bisection is in its
early stages yet, but it looks like it is coming in from the network
merge, and nothing else looks relevant.
Ugh. This is nasty to bisect, because it goes back to the pre-3.2 days
that didn't support graphics properly on that Macbook Air either. So
I've been having to work around not just the "wireless doesn't work",
but also the "graphics doesn't work" issue.

But after lots of nasty bisection problems and a few false starts, it
definitely looks like the brcmsmac driver. I don't know exactly which
commit, but it's all in network drivers now, and the only network
driver on this machine is the brcmsmac one.
Make sure you have

    bcma: support for suspend and resume

applied. I believe this patch already has hit your tree, but maybe
because of bisecting you are at some old commit without this patch.
