Then I guess Geert should not push this for 3.3 -- or does it make no 
difference?

If the SCC IRQ counters change across suspend/resume, perhaps the modem 
itself is not powering up...

Maybe the modem wants a transition on DTR or similar, but it hasn't had 
time to initialise when that happens during SCC resumption.

If so, calling pmz_shutdown() then pmz_startup() from the tail of 
pmz_resume() without delay should probably fail to revive it...
