It's really, really late in the release cycle to pick this up now. I'm also
travelling right now and have limited email access to handle fall-out. :(

I'll apply this to the fixes branch for 3.17 and mark it for stable instead.

Kukjin, seems like you're not testing suspend/resume yourself, since you
haven't known about the regression and the fix. Can you please make sure that
you have appropriate test coverage? Thanks!
