Thanks Hanswe need to explain why on Windows systems required 1s and on Linux systems up to 2.5s - otherwise it is not reliable approach - you will encounter others buggy system.

*Subject:* [External] Re: [PATCH v4 0/4] Improve s0ix flows for systems
i219LM
Hi All,
Absolutely - I'll ask them to look into this again.
###
I've added Mark Pearson from Lenovo to the Cc so that Lenovo
can investigate this issue further.
Mark, this thread is about an issue with enabling S0ix support for
e1000e (i219lm) controllers. This was enabled in the kernel a
while ago, but then got disabled again on vPro / AMT enabled
systems because on some systems (Lenovo X1C7 and now also X1C8)
this lead to suspend/resume issues.
When AMT is active then there is a handover handshake for the
OS to get access to the ethernet controller from the ME. The
Intel folks have checked and the Windows driver is using a timeout
of 1 second for this handshake, yet on Lenovo systems this is
taking 2 seconds. This likely has something to do with the
ME firmware on these Lenovo models, can you get the firmware
team at Lenovo to investigate this further ?
We did try to make progress with this previously - but it got a bitSasha
stuck and hence the need for these patches....but I believe things may
have changed a bit so it's worth trying again
