BTW, I should specify that this issue has nothing to do with the other
issue I had:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/8/603

That issue was with suspend/resume and it's fixed.

This issue I have now is with normal usage (S0) and not with suspend/resume.

In this case, everything freezes, X, etc. and only a hard reboot
works, I'm not sure I can git-bisect the problem also because it's
hard to reproduce and very random.

I'll see if the final 4.11 release fixes it and report back.
