Since  v5.19-rc4 this box got some *loud* distorting sound on boot and

I managed to bisect this down to:

Reverting that commit on top of v5.19-rc6 does indeed fix the problem here.
You're saying that the problem is on boot, but this patch is about
suspension to disk, which has nothing to do neither with the boot nor
with power-off. I'm afraid your bisection is incorrect.
After quickly looking at the code this looks appropriate, but why does
reverting that commit help then? That's a bit odd. Daniel: are you maybe
using suspend-to-disk and forgot to mention it?

No, I am not. But it seems Dmitry was right, at some point I bisected wrong by declaring some point good too early because I didn't have the bug on boot.

Perhaps I have two effects here: some bug resulting in sound distortion and some bug triggering that faster.


I will redo the bisection, but I fear it will take some time.
