Are you using the same .config? I have had drivers with dodgy
suspend/resume code before. You could try removing unneeded drivers and
see if the problem still exists.

You can do the bisect by creating a patch (or series of patches) between
mainline and your code. Do the bisect on the clean mainline and then
apply the patch on top of the bisect point at each stage.

You could try enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_LL and adding the following to
kernel/printk.c just above the call to vscnprintf:

	{
		extern void printascii(const char *);
		printascii(printk_buf);
	}

The alternative is to connect to the unit with a JTAG debugger and get a
stack trace and print the contents of __log_buf (the printk buffer).
