Yes.
That's why I've set the bugs kernel version to 6.0-rc6 ;-)

I've attached kernel logs for v6.0-rc6 and for v6.0-rc6 with 7123d39dc
reverted.
Reverting 7123d39dc on v6.0-rc6 makes the bug disappear.

Sorry, no bisect log saved.
But I've explicitly tested 7123d39dc and it's predecessor 7123d39dc^, which is
v5.18-rc7.
And 7123d39dc is definitely broken and v5.18-rc7 is working fine.

Tested s2idle with the openSUSE-15.4 stock kernel v5.14 and it consumed
MASSIVELY more power than S3.
I may give s2idle it another try with linux-6.0.

QUESTION:
Is "echo s2idle > /sys/power/mem_sleep" equivalent to enabling s2idle via ACPI?
So I wouldn't need to reboot to change ACPI for testing s2idle.

I also thought about using s2disk. But my employer requires me to use a very
long LUKS password. So I prefer not to enter the LUKS password every time I
wake my notebook.

Actually S3 is very well hidden. I don't know a way to enable it directly in
the BIOS. But it's in the ACPI tables.

cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > dsdt.dat
iasl -d dsdt.dat
==========
[...]
    If (!MSCE)
    {
        Name (_S3, Package (0x04)  // _S3_: S3 System State
        {
            0x03, 
            0x03, 
            Zero, 
            Zero
        })
    }
[...]
==========
I changed that "if" statement, recompiled and put the ACPI table into the
initrd for the kernel to load. 
See here for details:

Side note:
If you have an idea how to set that MSCE variable to false without recompiling
the kernel, I'd be quite happy :-)
