Except that in this case, to file a meaningful bug report, you need to be
able to:
* bisect the kernel
* attach a serial console (good luck even having the port these days)
and even that is likely to not be enough for kernel guys to fix this.
Suspend quirks are among worst bugs for a non-hacker to report.
