Thanks. From reviewing the code the only thing that appears suspect based
upon your findings is the return if we find the context has not been lost.
We are not checking if "workaround_enabled" is set before we return. 

Could you try the following change on top of v3.5-rc3?

diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpio-omap.c b/drivers/gpio/gpio-omap.c
index c4ed172..3b89e85 100644

                context_lost_cnt_after =
                        bank->get_context_loss_count(bank->dev);

                        omap_gpio_restore_context(bank);

-                       spin_unlock_irqrestore(&bank->lock, flags);
-                       return 0;
-               }
        }

Also, could you add a print in the runtime_suspend/resume() functions so
we can see how often these are being called. In my case, I really don't see
these being exercised and I am wondering how often you see suspend/resume
being called in your setup.

Cheers
Jon
