As you've undoubtedly surmised, I was in fact tracking down the resume
failure which was caused by the above and fixed by another of your
patches: 1396adc3c2bdc556d4cdd1cf107aa0b6d59fbb1e ... neither of which
were related to the fan issue as far as I can tell ... now I am off
bisecting while applying those ...

sorry for the noise ...
