Fwd: kernel consumes ~50% more power at idle after resume from s2ram

Hi,

I notice a bug report on Bugzilla [1]. As many developers don't keep
an eye on it, I decide to forward it by email. Quoting from it:

> I have a setup for measuring power consumption straight out from AC socket. I'm using following hardware in test setup:
> ASUS A88X-PLUS motherboard / Athlon X4 845 / 16GB DDR3 1600
> a usb sata ssd attached as system disk, no VGA card
>
> Tested on Debian bullseye kernel 5.10 , bookworm kernel 6.1 and fresh stable 6.3.2 compiled by myself. Results are the same. All attached logs are from 6.3.2
>
> After a fresh boot, without any interaction such setup consumes ~19W out from power socket. Doing a suspend to ram and after resume power consumption in exact idle use case is increased to 30W and do not come back to value before suspend.
>
> I was trying using powertop --auto-tune but it had almost no influence on the increased value.

See bugzilla for the full thread and attached debugging logs
(acpidump, lspci, dmesg).

Thanks.
