I've just tested it on Exynos based boards and on all I see the 
following issues after system suspend/resume cycle:

# time rtcwake -s10 -mmem
rtcwake: wakeup from "mem" using /dev/rtc0 at Wed May 18 11:13:16 2022

Some boards (like Trats2) after suspend/resume cycle reveals random crashes.

All those issues were not observed before applying this patchset.
