Thank you!
I have looked at the schematics and read discussion.

So, the conclusion that this is a BIOS bug is incorrect in my opinion.
The problem is either in the PMIC/EC firmware that shouldn't shut down 3.3VS
signal for a while or on the PCB level, so that pull up should be connected
to another power source that stays on.

This means the description on the initial patch with the same issue is
incorrect.

Do we know the power sequence on the suspend to see which and how on the
time line the power sources are off/on?
