But it's one of those tricky situations I more than once encountered as regression tracker, so maybe sharing a few thoughts from my point might help to lessen the problem for some users: - Was something done so to free ourselves from this tricky situation in the future? E.g. something like "for any future Intel controllers, enable LPM by default (as then it's not a regression if things don't work, which might be a better base to get down to the root of the problem)" - is the LPM working fine on the Laptops affected by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217114 with the pre-installed OS (e.g. Windows) - is switching to LPM maybe safe when there is nothing connected to that controller (which I guess might be the case on some of those Laptops?) In that case we might be able to improve the sitaution for some users. Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) -- Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr If I did something stupid, please tell me, as explained on that page.
