T480 suspend issues on devuan's current stable

For whatever reason, I used to not have this problem, but now every time I suspend for a certain length, probably an hour or more...

I can no longer press power or function key to get it to come back online on my T480.

I end up having to shut down the computer by force. Really... really annoying.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

I am 100% stumped.

I wonder if this is a libreboot issue or a T480 issue.

My guess is probably the first, but I don't know what specifically would cause this.

It's possible it's the coreboot firmware.  You can rule out software by trying different OSes and OS versions temporarily.  I've run into a lot of regressions in my day, all across the board...  So, it's possible it could be a software thing.

Hardware issues are always a pain to try and figure out..  GL

Hopefully the stability and functionality of those 7/8th gen intel ports will only continue to improve over time.

We're all 100% stumped too.

Assuming you have already searched and researched, I suggest asking the libreboot people if there are any known issues with suspend on that model?

@blackhole @goat

I have to agree it probably is...
