Ok, so it's not the bcma/brcmsmac drivers, and your hang seems to be
at suspend time.

There is at least one other suspend problem in the current merge
window, you may be hitting them. The one I know about is some oddity
with the machine check driver, so if you have CONFIG_X86_MCE enabled,
try compiling without it.

Also, try

    echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test
    echo mem > /sys/power/state

which doesn't do the "real" suspend, but only goes through the device
suspend. That often leaves more of a trace of what may have gone
wrong.
