I think we talk about two different issues here. The one the fix is for has no link to suspend/resume.

Chris, the lspci output doesn't provide enough detail to determine the exact chip version.
Can you provide the dmesg part with the XID?
According to your lspci output neither MSI nor MSI-X is active.
Do you have to use nomsi for whatever reason?
