Can you try to run "echo mem > /sys/power/state" instead of s2ram and see
if the symptoms are the same?

Also, please try reverting commit 7c0ea45be4f114d85ee35caeead8e1660699c46f
(reproduced below for conveninence) and see if that helps.

    ACPI: Ignore _BQC object when registering backlight device
    
    According to acpi spec , the objects of  _BCL and _BCM are required if
    integrated LCD is present and supports brightness level .The _BQC is
    the optional object. So the _BQC object is ignored when the backlight device
    is registered in ACPI video driver.
