Thanks Matthias, the syslog helps a lot.

A first assessment of the situation:

1. Phone tries to suspend while in hotspot mode ("wlanP2P")
2. Suspend goes into an infinite loop in the kernel, which has two effects:
  a. blocks repowerd, since repowerd waits for suspend to succeed
  b. spams syslog with messages and fills the partition. Logrotate kicks in once per hour,
     so chances are it's not able to rotate before the partition is already full. It seems
     the logs are also rotated during boot, that's why it gets cleared.

So, at it's core this seems to be a kernel issue, and repowerd blocking is just a side effect.

I will add the "devices" project to this bug, so the kernel (or other relevant) team can get involved.
