As Srinivas said, there is a plan to use it for debug purposes going forward.

Well, this is the situation already without this patch. :-)

As you correctly pointed out above, the published documentation refers to the
PNP0D80 _DSM in the "low-power S0" context only and this is the context in
which we are expected to use it for the time being.

In principle, its coverage can be extended in the future as far as I'm concerned,
but it woud be good to be able to clearly demonstrate the benefit from doing
that (like fixing suspend issues or reducing the power draw while suspended on
some systems etc).

That clearly is not directly related to the issue targeted by this patch, however.

Agreed.

It would require extra care to avoid invoking the same _DSM function twice in
a row, though.

OK
