The issues you had in kernels < 3.12 should be fixed in 3.12.
Download the git source with

git clone https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable

The Google mirror is much faster than kernel.org. Then you can look at the MEI commits with:

git log drivers/misc/mei/

Looks like they've introduced a lot of bugs in 3.9 as they've sent many commits to linux-stable 3.9+. Ubuntu is not really known for picking the most stable kernels. So compiling a kernel yourself can help in some cases.

This should be the fix for suspend issues:
mei: me: clear interrupts on the resume path

And these 3.12 commits look interesting:
mei: make me client counters less error prone
mei: bus: stop wait for read during cl state transition
mei: cancel stall timers in mei_reset
