Here is one idea. The _OSC method is used as a handshake between OS and
the BIOS to enable/disable certain features. One of those features is
_PR3 support (ACPI specification 6.1 p.328):
This bit is set if OSPM supports reading _PR3and using power
resources to switch power. Note this handshake translates to an
operating model that the platform and OSPM supports both the power
model containing both D3hot and D3.
Some of our development platforms has BIOS option "RTD3 enable" which
is used to enable/disable this flag (among other things). The BIOS
should return acked caps when _OSC returns but we never check those in
Linux.
Kilian, can you try the below patch and send back dmesg when the system
has been booted? It should show if the BIOS acks _PR3 or not.
