Actually, it's probably because one of the device drives isn't
properly putting that particular device into a low power state. When
I was trying to make s2idle work on the XPS 13, there was needed patch
to make the SATA AHCI controller go into a lower power state. This
was a patch which the Dell folks had gotten into their special
"Optimized for Dell laptops" Ubuntu kernel that was running into
resistance upstream. I *think* that patch finally made it upstream,
but to be honest, I haven't been keeping track since I decided "life
was too short to fight and make s2idle work".
I probably should see if newer kernels have fixed some of these
issues, since the XPS13 is currently my preferred laptop, and I worry
that future models will drop suspend-to-ram, since Windows 10 is using
s2idle, and so the incentive for laptop manufacturers to support
suspend-to-ram is almost non-existent, especially now that Windows XP
and Windows 7 have moved to the great deprecation bitbucket in the
sky.... :-(
