Note, this problem has also been seen in "the wild" in a number of
3.10-based systems where a printk message happens right when suspend is
happening.  If we are unlucky, it hits, causing a watchdog to trigger
and the system is reset.  My personal phone happens to be one of those
"unlucky" ones and is reset every other day or so due to this bug :(

So yes, lots of printk() messages will cause this to be hit more often,
like in the system that Viresh is working on here.  But it will also
trigger on "normal" systems as well, just much more infrequently.

thanks,
