Subject: MTD: Patch to spi-nor hangs Lenovo ThinkPad X1 on suspend, sleep,
 and shutdown.

This is the kernel bugzilla: 
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217448

This is the system I'm having troubles with:

Ever since 6.4-rc1 this system has hung on every S3/S2idle suspend and
shutdown during reboot. I've bisected it to a patch to the MTD: SPI-NOR 
subsystem about introducing the "concept of a bank"

9d6c5d64f0288a814d4435b7da39e360a4c39e40 is the first bad commit

    mtd: spi-nor: Introduce the concept of bank

    SPI NOR chips are made of pages, which gathered in small groups
make
    (erase) sectors. Sectors, gathered together, make banks inside the
    chip. Until now, there was only one bank per device supported, but
we
    are about to introduce support for new chips featuring several
banks (up
    to 4 so far) where different operations may happen in parallel.

    Let's allow describing these additional bank parameters, and let's
do
    this independently of any other value (like the number of sectors)
with
    an absolute value.

    By default we consider that all chips have a single bank.

Basically something about the new code is improperly handling the
memory size on this machine. It's not complex but I haven't dug any
deeper since I want it posted as quickly as possible. To reproduce, run
any of these 3 commands and the system will hang:

echo freeze > /sys/power/state
echo mem > /sys/power/state
sudo reboot
