Great, thanks!

There are several other OMAP3 platforms (n900, Beagle, etc.) where the
UART console is also UART2, so console ordering is not the problem.

The fact that that pr_warning is making it to the console suggests that
the console is not locked.  In the idle path, we take the console lock
(using console_trylock(), just above the code you showed above.)

But during suspend, there was an assumption (by me[2]) that the console
would always be locked in the suspend path.  During no_console_suspend,
it appears that is not the case.

Can you try the patch below[1] to see if that fixes your problem?  I
think it should.
