Unfortunately, this is the second oops:

"Oops: 0000 [#2] ..."

The first has scrolled off but I can see the RIP: ioread32+0x40 and the
code must be:

ffffffff812a1e40 <ioread32>:
ffffffff812a1e40:       48 81 ff ff ff 03 00    cmp    $0x3ffff,%rdi
ffffffff812a1e47:       77 37                   ja     ffffffff812a1e80 <ioread32+0x40>

...

ffffffff812a1e77:       66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00    nopw   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
ffffffff812a1e7e:       00 00 
ffffffff812a1e80:       8b 07                   mov    (%rdi),%eax			<--- faulting insn
ffffffff812a1e82:       c3                      retq   
ffffffff812a1e83:       66 66 66 66 2e 0f 1f    data32 data32 data32 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
ffffffff812a1e8a:       84 00 00 00 00 00

and judging by the instruction, that's addr in %rdi which we try to read
and I'd guess %rdi contains garbage after resume.

IOW, this looks like another corruption that happens when you suspend to
ram.

I asked you already but you didn't say:

"Also, you can check for BIOS updates for your machine and if there are,
check their changelogs whether they fix something suspend-related."
