[Abhilash K V]  OK. Yet changing the order so that uart-2 is disabled at the last
seems to rid me of the crash on AM35x. 
I understand that holding the console_sem before suspend (your fix below) is the
way to go, but I'm just curious over what's happening here.
Simply put what is the rationale behind choosing this order of UART-disables ?

[Abhilash K V] Yes it does, thanks.
