You appear to have two issues - (1) the driver doesn't
hibernate/resume well, (2) there is some bad memory leak which causes
your system to run out of memory.

You did not mention issue (1) - that you were hibernating and resuming
(and expecting it to work, which it does not). For the latter, you
probably need to track down where the memory is leaking in the driver,
which is probably easier than tracking down the hibernate/resume
issue.

Good luck with tracking down the memory leak. (you do understand that
staging drivers are DIY - i.e. you try it only if you are willing to
look into fixing it yourself - I hope )
