There is a problem with the pxa2xx-mci.0 suspend that has been introduced
some time after 2.6.34, but it is not related to commit 152e1d5920.  The
problem was not visible with pm_async=1 because of the very bug fixed by
commit 152e1d5920.

Please see if the problem is there in 2.6.35 (please test with pm_async=0).

Thanks,
