Thanks Mario,

Tested the series on the T14 G1 AMD and it fixes the long delay when
resuming from S0ix suspend nicely.

Patches look good to me. I am working with the Lenovo FW teams for the
various platforms, but as S0ix support wasn't in the original scope I
don't know yet when (or if in some cases) they'll get FW fixes released.
I believe these changes are benign even once the FW is fixed so think
this is a great idea.

I'll push updates removing platform quirks once FW is released though.
