Hello,

Tested-on a HP 17-by0001nw laptop with an Intel Kaby Lake CPU and Ubuntu 20.04.

Used technologies: ext4, vfat, mdraid on top of a NVMe and SATA drive (in a
write-mostly mode).

Suspend to disk and suspend to RAM work.

Nitpicks:

- the laptop once failed to shut down completely, it hung with a black screen
(the kernel messages from the shutdown disappeared). This did not happen again
with 2-3 tries. IIRC this has happened on this laptop in the past.

- I have been running long SMART tests on 2 external USB hard drives.
One of them, a TOSHIBA USB 3.0 hard drive briefly disconnected with the
following dmesg messages:

usb 2-2: USB disconnect, device number 4
xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: WARN Set TR Deq Ptr cmd failed due to incorrect slot or ep state.
sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s

sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
usb 2-2: new SuperSpeed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd

The hard drive was later reset out of the blue:

usb 2-1: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd

This may have been caused by faulty cabling / USB sockets.
