Bcache "supports" suspend.
However, like all file-systems, you cannot mount it while you are resuming.
And bcache is basically automount.

I use bcache with suspend, but I have taken special precautions to ensure bcache is never active
before attempting a resume. To do this I wrote my own initramfs.
If you are using a prebuild initramfs, ask your provider if it supports this.
