Here's a puzzle for whoever likes hardware detective work.

Suspend to RAM worked just fine on the Jose's box before commit
53024df259e37ad49ee3d1f3721d4cecdd7bc357 (PM / yenta: Fix cardbus
suspend/resume regression, mainline commit
0c570cdeb8fdfcb354a3e9cd81bfc6a09c19de0c) that made the resume of CardBus
devices actually work. After this commit, the box hangs during resume 100% of
the time.

We've done quite some debugging and here's the summary of findings:

1) Resume works if pcmcia_socket_dev_resume(dev) is moved to the "regular"
resume phase, after resume_device_irqs().

2) Resume works if yenta_set_power() is not called during resume
(from yenta_set_socket()).

3) It doesn't help to resume all ACPI devices before yenta.

4) It doesn't help to disable yenta events during resume (unconditionally).

5) There are two CardBus bridges in the box and according to the PM_TRACE
information the _second_ one is the last device we attempt to wake up
during a failing resume.

Please look into http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14334 for details.

OK, any ideas anyone?
