FYI - this seems to conflict with other changes on review-ilpo-fixes and 
fixes branches.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/commit/drivers/platform/x86/amd/pmc/pmc-quirks.c?h=review-ilpo-fixes&id=c96f86217bb28e019403bb8f59eacd8ad5a7ad1a

Also - a few other comments.

1) Do you have line of sight to a firmware (BIOS or EC) fix?  If so; it 
would be better to specify a specific firmware release that is affected.

2) Shouldn't you also have DMI_SYS_VENDOR or some other matching keys 
else set?  Or is it really all these boards with this specific name?

No

@Christoffer you have more knowledge of how realistic it is to get this fixed by 
the odm?

But even then, we still don't have fwupd support to get the fw update out easily

I was following the style of the i8042 quirk list where we also always only did 
boardnames

Ofc we only tested the boards the odm has sent to us

OK, even if you don't get a solution in the firmware in this generation 
it's good to understand this issue and root cause it so that you can 
have it fixed properly next generation.

It's not always realistic but ideally bringing a new product to market 
shouldn't require a quirk.

But this isn't a hardware problem with the board itself, it's a firmware 
problem.  The board ID you're using is just a convenient proxy for it.

I've seen the debugging for a few issues like this and it can be all 
across the board.  A few examples:

* polarity issues
* debounce issues
* incorrectly set PCD (Kinda like a Kconfig for BIOS)

Agreed, would of course rather fix it in firmware when it's a firmware 
problem. Sometimes, like the case for the previous patch (for 
InfinityBook Pro Gen10) it was unfortunately not possible to locate and 
solve in time. Was even briefly thought to be fixed before launch 
because issue disappeared (in that configuration).

Another curiosity, this second quirk entry (for the Stellaris Slim Gen6) 
is actually for previous generation. The issue didn't surface until a 
major kernel jump. Initially thought to be a regression, however, 
bisecting ended up in kernels where the issue happened seeming randomly 
every ~2-3 suspend/resume cycle. Therefore currently thought to be a 
system configuration dependent race condition whether issue triggers or 
not.

Firmware is what we're suspecting as well.

Small update, according to latest info, a write from Linux, on port 60, 
supposedly triggers the interrupt. However, so far I have only seen a 
keyboard reset that is done before suspend and that does not seem to be 
it.

Thanks for the ideas, any further insights are of course very welcome.
