Interesting, thanks for the pointer!

I'm happy to learn I've this nice piece of HW in my machine. It might
have at least some other issue while trying to hibernate (there is a
fair chance for it to abort the process because of some "business").

I tried the usb/uPD720202-reset branch from Marc (with some massaging
due to quirks now being >32) and my system boots again. I think it's
more because of the PCI reset is removed, I am not affected by the
original issue it was meant to fix.
