Re: 3.16-rcX crashes on resume from Suspend-To-RAM

[Zhang Rui]

Hi, Markus,

Can you please attach
1. the acpidump output
2. dmesg output after boot in 3.16-rc
3. the output of 
   a) "grep . /sys/bus/pnp/devices/*/firmware_node/*"
   b) "grep . /sys/bus/pnp/devices/*/*"
   c) "grep . /sys/bus/platform/devices/*/firmware_node/*"
   d) "grep . /sys/bus/platform/devices/*/*"
   BOTH before and after this commit?

thanks,
rui
