I can't reproduce that anymore.
I had a userspace script that would mmap /dev/mem and 'fix' the issue.
I used it to help some ubuntu users and to test some unrelated work on
ubuntu kernel.

Yet, the script should exit before write to /sys/power/state.

However when this happened I also closed the system's lid, which might
make the same script to run in parallel, and therefore an attempt to
ioremap the NVS area failed.
can't think for any other explanation why ioremap could fail.
Anyway, I think it would be safe to add a check to and abort suspend if
ioremap fails.


I don't use this script anymore.
