Sorry I am late on this, but I was not copied and so did not see this. I 
noticed a suspend regression on Tegra186 with v6.8.y and bisect is point 
to commit "workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for 
unbound workqueues".

Reverting commits "workqueue: Don't call cpumask_test_cpu() with -1 CPU 
in wq_update_node_max_active()" and "workqueue: Implement system-wide 
nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues" does fix the problem.

Note that I am not seeing this regression on the mainline with v6.9-rc2 
and so I am not sure if there is something else missing? I am also still 
seeing the problem with v6.8.3-rc1.

Jon
