Ah, ok I already suspected that and I think that is the difference between our
2 setups. I will try to reproduce the suspend/resume problem again with a microsd
card inserted and mounted.

This is expected we changed / improved the code generating the:
"i2c_designware 80860F41:00: Transfer while suspended"

Warning to include a trace, so that we know which code initiated the transfer,
which, as more or less expected, is the ACPI subsystem, like some power_on (_PS0)
or off (_PS3) method.

Hmm, for future testing please leave out the patch removing the DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND
flag. Usually when asking you to test something we assume you are using a pristine kernel.
What does that patch attempt to fix and what happens during suspend/resume without it ?
