OK, found the root cause of this in the GPIO driver.  Patch submitted:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=135101577925972&w=2

however...

... board files that are setting debounce values for ads7846 will no
longer work.  

Currently, omap_ads7846_init() in common-board-devices.c does this:

   gpio_request_one()
   gpio_set_debounce()
   gpio_free()                    

because of a bug in the GPIO driver, the debounce settings were sticky
and lingered even after the gpio_free().  That bug has been fixed by the
above patch, which means the above gpio_set_debounce() is completely
pointless because it's followed immediately by a gpio_free().

IMO, the whole GPIO init for the ads7846 needs a rethink as it's
currently partially done by common-board-devices.c and done (again) in
the ads7846 driver.  If the gpio_free() isn't done in
common-board-devices, then the ads7846 driver will currently fail to
probe/load becasue it can't request a GPIO line.

Having found and fixed the PM regression, I'll leave the ads7846 cleanup to
somone else.
