Thanks, v2 looks good to me:
Acked-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>
for the series.
I have also started a Fedora kernel test-build with this series added
and asked the reporters of the ideapad touchpad + x1 carbon suspend/resume:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1868899
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2029207
bugs to test.
