With ath6kl-cleanup we missed the 3.1 deadline for the wireless code
so the staging version of ath6kl will be still in 3.1. Because of this
I need to send few critical fixes for 3.1, this suspend fix being one
of them. There are might few others as well, but the patches are not
ready yet.

I'm doing the big mistake of sending new code and going for a trip the
next day and not have internet access for 10 days. If there are any
issues my collagues will jump in.
