Sadly lack of time means I've lost track of the Zaurus kernels but this sounds like all accesses to the SSP buses now go through the SPI layer and when it was converted nobody thought about the impact this would have on the Zaurus charger code.
If suspend/resume is broken in this way, it also means the charger code is also likely to be totally broken/malfunctioning since it won't be able to read from the ADC either.
Either:
a) Someone steps up and finds a way to partially resume the kernel so the "offline" charging code can work and access SPI b) We find some other way to allow the SPI interface to be accessed by the charger code without resuming the whole kernel (the way it used to work) c) We rip the whole thing out and stop supporting "offline" charging.
I'd hate to see c) happen but I doubt I'm going to find time to rewrite that code any time soon and nobody else even seems to have grasped how deep this problem really is :(.
