Well I've never seen this INFO trace before - also I'm not sure I
could reliable retest it - might be coincidence of suspend out of port
replicator and resume while being attached on it - however I do this
relatively often and I start to see this after I' started to use -rc7
kernel.

My guess is purely based on the fact that commit touching functions
from INFO trace was recently merged to main tree.

If there will be some time I could try to make few tests for suspend
resume - but I hope the trace would be enough for analysis.
