On some TUXEDO platforms, a Samsung 990 Evo NVMe leads to a high
power consumption in s2idle sleep (2-3 watts).

This patch applies 'Force No Simple Suspend' quirk to achieve a
sleep with a lower power consumption, typically around 0.5 watts.

Does this only apply to a specific SSD or all SSDs on this platform?
How do these platforms even get into the conditional? Probably
through acpi_storage_d3 setting, which probably is set incorrectly
for the platform? Any chance to just fix that?

Yes, this only apply to a specific SSD. I tested these SSDs (on PH4PRX1_PH6PRX1):
* Kingston NV1, SNVS250G
* Samsung 980, MZ-V8V500
* Samsung 970 Evo, S46DNX0K900454D
* Samsung 980 Pro, S69ENX0T709932L

S2idle consumes around 0.4 watts with these SSDs. But with a Samsung 990 Evo s2idle on this platform consumes 3.7 to 4.4 watts (6.8 vs 6.5 kernel).

With my quirk s2idle sleep consumption is at the same level of all other SSDs tested.

Other boards have different values (a bit less drastic: factor 3 to 8).

All measurements were taken with the battery disconnected and a
modified adapter plug.

Because of the isolated problems with this SSD I have not debugged acpi_storage_d3. Do you think that would make sense?

Kind regards,
