Subject: System fails to exit s2idle by a keystroke on my laptop

Hi,
    I have an Intel X5-Z8350 laptop which used to work fine on s2idle
enter/exit with kernel 5.3. After upgrading to kernel 5.4 and later,
the system can still exit s2idle by power button. However, if I try to
wake it up from a keystroke, the system will freeze and then no longer
respond even to the power button. I can only shut it down and power on
again.

    I tried to 'git bisect' to find out which commit causes the
difference, it shows me the commit "ACPI: PM: s2idle: Prevent spurious
SCIs from waking up the system". My laptop can work as usual to exit
s2idle by a keystroke with reverting it on kernel 5.4.

    Then I tried to check whether I can reproduce it on the latest
mainline kernel, the same problem still there. But I can not fix it by
simply reverting. I found the acpi_s2idle_wake() has been refined on
the latest mainline kernel, and I have to make modifications as
follows to make my laptop work.

                /*
                 * Cancel the wakeup and process all pending events in case

    Maybe there's something special on my laptop so a keystroke is
considered as a spurious event on this machine? Don't know if the DSDT
helps or not.

    Please let me know if there's anything I can help to address this
problem. Thanks
