These are different bugs.

On x60, I see failures doing hotplug/unplug in a loop, or lot of
suspends. Someone seen it in v4.8-stable etc. Old bug. Rare to hit.

Desktop machine was failing to boot, and had some fun with
suspend/resume too. Boot hang was reproducible with right
procedure. (Hard poweroff, cold boot.). That one was introduced in
4.10-rc cycle.
