And I have agreed with multiple times!

That works for me. How about the below?

Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: mark hibernation as broken

Hibernation support depends on firmware marking its reserved
regions as not mappable by Linux. As things stand, the de-facto SBI
implementation (OpenSBI) does not do this, and other implementations may
not do so either, resulting in kernel panics during hibernation ([1],
[2]).

Disable support for hibernation until such time that an SBI
implementation independent way to communicate what regions are reserved
has been agreed upon.
