Both. Thierry has pointed to the lines showing failed suspend transition;
and I forgot to mention that the touchpad is unresponsive from then on
(I might not have noticed the failed suspend without that). But I don't
suppose that unresponsiveness is worth worrying about: things went wrong
in suspend, so it's not surprising if the driver does not recover well.
Thank you both for getting on to this so quickly - but don't worry about
getting my touchpad working: I'm glad to see you discussing the wider
issues of ordering that this has brought up.
