Hi Hans,

Sorry if I'm a little slow to follow up here. This hasn't been my
top priority...

Hmm? I'm not sure I completely follow here when you say "he was not
hitting the firmware loading race". If things were functioning fine with
system suspend (but not with autosuspend), then he's not seeing the
controller (quoting commit fd865802c66b) "losing power during suspend".

So, that would suggest he could only be seeing the race (as I was), and
that his machine does not deserve a RESET_RESUME quirk?

Or maybe I'm really misunderstanding.

It seems like you folks moved forward on that one. Thanks.
