Em, it's not caused by the IRQ patch.

The kernel is blocked in resume path. When console is resumed, IRQ is
already disabled and system is blocked. Actually, IRQ shouldn't be
disabled at here. Up to now, I only find which patch will cause this
issue. But I can't find the best solution on it. The patch with issue
is pasted in below.

So this issue is only occused when console suspend is enabled. If you
enable no_console_suspend in command, you won't meet this issue. It
seems that it's caused by removing termios setting in
uart_resume_port() in the below patch. If I add these code back, the
issue doesn't occur any more.

Deepak,
Could you help to investigate this issue also?

By the way, the suggested quick test command is in below. If we tried
these commands for 20 times, the issue would occur. I only test it in
PXA silicon. I don't know the symptom on other silicons.
$ echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test
$ echo mem > /sys/power/state

Thanks
