Is the rtsx_usb_ms device attached to an xHCI controller?

How is the hang during resume related to the actions of the xhci-hcd
driver? (You'll probably need to enable dynamic debugging for xhci-hcd
and use a network console to get the answer.)

If this problem really is related to xhci-hcd, have you tried bringing
it to the attention of the xhci-hcd maintainer?

Are you using the most up-to-date version of the kernel? xhci-hcd is
still getting fixes at a very high rate.
