Does the following work?  It has been applied upstream and will
probably be part of v3.1-rc1.

Thanks for reporting.

    mac80211: be more careful in suspend/resume

    When suspending with all netdevs down, the device
    is stopped but we still call a number of driver
    callbacks that the driver might not expect. The
    same happens during resume, we might call a few
    callbacks without starting the driver. Fix this
    by checking open_count around more things and
    exiting quickly if it is 0.

    Also, while at this I noticed that the coverage
    class isn't reprogrammed after resume, so add
    that.
