Ok, so things are at least not terribly broken.

That otoh is ugly. Could be that though that this is the same (or a
similar bug) to your resume issue - in the last few kernel releases
we've tried very hard to unify the code between initial driver load at
boot-up and resume.

So can you please try to bisect where the boot-up regression has been
introduced between 3.8 and 3.10-rc2?

Thanks, Daniel
