Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

This problem was hidden by power domain driver, which call run time resume before it. But the below commit remove it and make this issue happen. commit c1df456d0f06e ("PM: domains: Don't runtime resume devices at genpd_prepare()") This patch call run time resume before suspend to make sure clock is on before access register.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 5.10.96 / 5.15.19 / 5.16.5 or later
Fixed in 5.10.965.15.195.16.5
Vendor patch git.kernel.org →
Recommended fix High confidence

5.15.19+ or 5.16.5+ (or 5.10.96+ for 5.10.x branch, 5.18+ for 5.17)

  1. Identify current kernel version using `uname -r`
  2. Determine which kernel branch is in use (e.g., 5.10.x, 5.15.x, 5.16.x, 5.17.x)
  3. Upgrade to a fixed kernel version: for 5.10.x use >=5.10.96, for 5.15.x use >=5.15.19, for 5.16.x use >=5.16.5, for 5.17 use >=5.18
  4. Reboot the system to apply the new kernel
  5. Verify the fix is applied by checking the kernel version and confirming no crash occurs during suspend with remote wakeup enabled
