Today, there is no S2RAM support for switches. First, I proposed to add
suspend/resume callbacks to the mv88e6xxx driver - just enough to avoid
crashing the kernel.    

Then i would suggest the mv88e6xxx refuses the suspend. Actually that
probably is the first correct step. We don't have suspend support, so
stop the suspend happening, so preventing the kernel crash.    

Actually can you show me the crash that is happening?

Sure, here it is: http://code.bulix.org/swwb11-569137

Actually it is a silent crash but the platform never resumes. I am
pretty sure this is due to the kthread_queue_delayed_work() loop which
might access registers before it is allowed to do so. In my proposal I
just canceled it at suspend and restarted it at resume.

Next week I will send a patch to refuse the suspend as you both
suggested and if people want to suspend, they will have to remove the
switch support.


Thanks,
Miquèl
