Thank you for your replies. First of all, it looks like *only* the Dell 
system is effected as I was unable to reproduce it on the TUXEDO Book 
1406. I have to verify that by finding old log files.

Starting the bisect between 4.14 and 4.15-rc1 it turns out, that the 
problem is also reproducible with 4.14, and I remembered wrong. Looking 
more into it, I could also reproduce it with Linux 4.13.0-32-generic 
from Ubuntu 16.04 (Hardware Enablement Stack). But my old logs do not 
show the problem. As the UEFI firmware was updated to version 2.5.0 in 
the meantime, it could also be related to that.

So it turns out, with 4.16-rc1 I see this delay/failure message only 
during the first suspend. Suspending a second time, I do not see the 
message.

Any hints how to debug this further are much appreciated. Could it be 
related to the embedded controller?


Kind regards,

Paul
