It seems that aae8224d is wrong:

@@ -225,9 +201,6 @@ static int pxa3xx_cpu_pm_valid(suspend_state_t state)
 }

 static struct pxa_cpu_pm_fns pxa3xx_cpu_pm_fns = {
-       .save_count     = SLEEP_SAVE_COUNT,
-       .save           = pxa3xx_cpu_pm_save,
-       .restore        = pxa3xx_cpu_pm_restore,
        .valid          = pxa3xx_cpu_pm_valid,
        .enter          = pxa3xx_cpu_pm_enter,
 };

whereas the generic code does this:

        /* skip registers saving for standby */
        if (state != PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY) {
                pxa_cpu_pm_fns->save(sleep_save);

so, pxa_cpu_pm_fns->save is now a NULL pointer, hence the PC address in
the oops of 0x0.
