Just one more information - I've applied this patchset on top of v6.16 
and it works perfectly on ARM Juno R1. SATA and GBit ethernet are 
visible again and system suspend/resume works too, so the issue with the 
latter on top of v6.18 seems not to be directly related to $subject 
patchset. I will try to bisect this issue when I have some spare time.

Feel free to add:
