It's presumably a bug in the kernel. You're best off trying a older or
newer kernel and seeing if you can reproduce the problem, and filing a
bug upstream if the newest released kernel causes the issue.
You can also probably just fix it by unloading and reloading the
module on suspend/resusume.
Regardless, in the future these sorts of questions are best asked at
debian-user@lists.debian.org, as owner@bugs.debian.org is only for
questions regarding the BTS itself. I've forwarded this response
there, and please direct your followup there as well.
