TONS and TONS of fixes have landed for s2idle since then.  5.15.y is the first
kernel that you should be confident to use it.

Please re-test with s2idle using 6.0-rc6.  If that doesn't work let's fix it.

So I wouldn't need to reboot to change ACPI for testing s2idle.

No, on AMD systems there are Pre-OS changes that occur when you use modern
standby/s2idle.  If you use s2idle when the firmware is configured for S3 you
will never get into the proper power state.

As you're patching the firmware this is not a regression.  It takes more to
properly enable S3 in Pre-OS code than changing a variable evaluated by the
Linux kernel's ACPI interpreter..

Thorsten - this is not a regression, patching the BIOS like this is completely
off the beating path.  We can't possibly support S3 in Linux if the OEM doesn't
offer it in their BIOS.

kolAflash - Let's focus on fixing s2idle for your system.  With 6.0-rc6 and an
"unpatched" BIOS let's see if you have any remaining problems with it.
