The only way I can think of is removing the module manually. But it 
didn't bring the board back to live.

This one works! It can run more than 20 mins.

I found one interesting thing. When I added the print info to see when 
runtime_suspend/resume get called, it seems like the suspend/resume is 
unbalance during boot. Resume got called more than suspend. So I hack 
the code to make sure suspend and resume are called in pair. A resume 
without suspend will do nothing and return immediately. This also makes 
the hang vanish.
