Unfortunately I got some results sooner than I had hoped. I set up a simple loop to suspend/resume every few seconds and on the first run it took around 2-3 hours for the device to lock up on resume. On the second run it took less than half an hour. I had glmark2-es2-drm running in the background, but it looks like it crashed at some point before the lockup occurred.

Of course this could also be unrelated and caused by some peripheral driver or something but the first suspicion is definitely the power domains.

If you have any suggestions for which debug options to enable or where to add some printks, please let me know. If I do another run I would like to make sure that the resulting logs are helpful for debugging.

And I would appreciate if someone else could try to reproduce this problem on his/her side. I use this simple script for testing:

#!/bin/sh

glmark2-es2-drm &

while true;
do
    echo +10 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
    echo mem > /sys/power/state
    sleep 5
done;
