My T100TA has version T100TA.314, date 08/13/2015

Ok, so I tried reproducing the suspend/resume problem on my T100TA with a microsd
inserted and mounted and I still cannot reproduce the problem. So either you are
hitting a BIOS bug which since has been fixed, or the suspend/resume
problem is caused by you removing the DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND flag.
