No not every suspend. I run 10 suspend cycles on each Tegra board (5
boards total) and typically between 3 and 5 boards would see the stall
in the 10 suspend cycles. So it does appear to be timing sensitive.

I can, but it appears like Richard's patch has fixed this. I am happy to
do more testing if necessary.
