This stuff is on the "andy" branch.  I removed the code that you removed
about reinitializing the backlight to be off, it seems to me that the
pcf50633 somehow comes up with the backlight powered at a low level
before we wrote to it at all.

There's some new code to explicitly manage nasty resume dependencies if
we can identify them... FWIW I have never been able to reproduce the
crash on resume that seems to be associated with leaving the device in
suspend for a long while... I just tried with the last changes leaving
it for an hour and it is still fine here.

So I am curious if this makes any difference yet on your config.
