I tried this branch on my beaglebone black, and it's not fully resuming.
Suspend seems to be working (power draw goes from ~1W to ~130mW) and
pressing a key on the UART seems to be waking up the SoC (power draw
goes to ~600mW) but I don't ever get the console back.

Is there a specific version of the firmware I should be using?

Kevin
