Hi Chris,

Support for SPEAr13xx is not present on 3.1 and it will take some time to
move support there. I have a bit more info which might able you to guide us:

file: drivers/mmc/card/queue.c

static int mmc_queue_thread(void *d)
{
	...
	do {
		req = blk_fetch_request(q);
		...
		if (!req) {
			if (kthread_should_stop()) {
				set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
				break;
			}
			up(&mq->thread_sem);
			schedule();
			down(&mq->thread_sem);
			continue;
		}
		set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
		mq->issue_fn(mq, req);
	} while (1);
	...
}

- In normal cases, i.e. when we are able to stop this thread,
  req is returned as NULL from blk_fetch_request()
- Suspend hang only occurs when the card is mounted.
- When suspend hangs, req is not returned as NULL and the card is
  already removed by kernel and so we never check kthread_should_stop().
  So it hangs.
