Thank you for inviting me. :-)
It is very interesting.

In my opinion, rtsx_pci_resume()/rtsx_pci_suspend() in realtek PCIe card
reader driver may make the kernel panic.

I think that the commit "mfd: rtsx: Configure to enter a deeper
power-saving mode in S3" may be the culprit.

Francis Moreau,
Let us know the exact model name of rts52xx PCIe card reader
in your laptop? According to the commit, Wei WANG added S3 mode
to rts5227 driver ,and rts5249 driver.

Wei Wang,
Would you confirm that the S3 mode works properly in rts52xx PCIe
card reader devices?

Best regards,
