Hi Alan,

Thanks for your email, did you see my bug report? Because I tried all
this already.

The only workarounds I've found to work is one of these:

$ rmmod jme # before suspend

or

$ ip link set ens34 down

or

$ echo 0 > /sys/power/pm_async # disable async power management

Then resume works fine (I can't reproduce the hang).

I'm not a C developer nor a kernel developer, I tried looking at the
jme.c driver code but it's not clear what is broken and what needs
fixing, so I would appreciate someone more experienced looking at the
issue and giving me an idea or two.

Thanks,
Diego
