It is not lost. The boot kernel has re-initialized its state. What is
missing is that one driver in your system fails to restore its own state
correctly, and relies on doing something such as enabling/disabling the
interrupt in its PM handler, things will start working again (probably
because they use the same PM callbacks functions for both suspend/resume
and hibernation). This is in no way a guarantee.

Please try:

and let me know how this fares.

As you pointed out, ARF is not involved at all in that context, so
that's pretty pointless.
