Indeed. Like I said, I have similar issues on a another Samsung HDD in
an AMD system. I have not yet got around to try the fix there, but I
suspect it is the same thing.

I have attached the full /var/log/messages and /var/log/kern.log with
multiple suspend-to-ram runs and the last one failing.

Would it make sense to add Rafael's workaround upstream, maybe enabling
it only for particular platforms / HDDs / with a parameter?

Thanks,
