Fixing Suspend/Resume on Meteor Lake: One Kernel Parameter, One Year Too Late

I held the power button down more than 300 times on this machine.

ThinkPad P1 Gen7, Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (Meteor Lake), kernel 6.x through 7.x. Every suspend attempt ended the same way: freeze on entry or black screen on resume, then a hard shutdown. Over a year of real work on a machine that couldn’t sleep. That is not a minor inconvenience — it means no lid-close during meetings, no quick suspend between tasks, battery draining because you forgot to plug in before walking away.
