Comment(by dsd):

 With some sleeps and printks I found a semi-reliable way to reproduce the
 hang on demand, with no_console_suspend available.

 By hooking up show_state() to the power button I found the issue. The
 btmrvl bluetooth driver is waiting for its main thread to stop. There is a
 race here meaning that the thread will not always be stopped when
 requested. And evidently this race becomes a lot more likely to happen
 when the mwifiex interrupt storm happens at the same time.

 Pushed as b572bafeb49

 Also pushed the mwifiex fix to stop ignoring interrupts as 523009baf7204

 However testing further I can still reproduce a hang :( even with
 no_console_suspend enabled though, so I should be able to use the same
 debugging approach...
