The overnight resume hang is a touch on a wake-gesture-armed suspended screen, not a suspend regression finding device:google-taimen proven
Deep sleep is blocked by a 5.3k/s tick inside the frozen window, not by a missing RPM voter finding device:google-taimen proven
Disabling the CPU retention idle state, as the vendor does, is worth about 0.02 mW and does not deepen idle finding soc:msm8998 proven
EAS never starts on msm8998: the CPU OPP tables carry CPR corners, not power finding soc:msm8998 proven
The Type-C Rp advertisement is ignored, so a 3 A source charges at 500 mA – and AICL, not the driver, is what bounds the request finding soc:msm8998 proven
pm_test rejects processors and core when the sleep state is s2idle finding generic proven
taimen’s skin thermistor needs no driver: bd_therm2 is VADC 0x51 and mainline already scales it finding device:taimen proven
The 244 mW of always-on idle was the camera sensors alone; venus and Easel are inside the noise finding device:google-taimen proven
The mainline msm8998 thermal zone is a cliff – one passive trip, no limit, 2.36 GHz to 500 MHz in about 7 s finding soc:msm8998 proven
The vendor runs four thermal layers on msm8998; mainline runs one, and two of the other three are hardware we switch off finding soc:msm8998 proven
244 mW of taimen’s screen-off idle is three blocks nothing is using finding device:taimen proven
Playbook: suspend and deep sleep technique generic proven
Every browser arm runs at 75-78 C with the big cores capped to 1.0-1.5 GHz, and a phone on a PC’s USB port discharges under that load until it browns out trap device:google-taimen proven
A RAM-booted kernel cannot survive a long sleep — suspend work needs a flashed slot trap generic proven
A battery that will not charge is usually the debug cable, not the driver trap generic proven
Unmasking suspend before an automated wait can loop a device out of reach trap generic proven
An out-of-range watchdog timeout turns the watchdog OFF, it does not clamp trap generic proven
