X220 Tablet - stuck while suspend and shutdown (systemd issue 8155)

I have several issue on dated X220 Tablet, it should be almost identical to the regular X220.

Main issue is that when trying to 'systemctl suspend' whole system freezes, no recovery possible and I have to hard shutdown.
From journactl I only get:

Dec 15 14:47:38 archlinux systemd[1]: Reached target Sleep.
Dec 15 14:47:38 archlinux systemd[1]: Starting Suspend...
Dec 15 14:47:38 archlinux systemd-sleep[9158]: Suspending system...
Dec 15 14:47:38 archlinux kernel: PM: suspend entry (deep)

This is on currently latest kernel: Linux archlinux 4.19.8-arch1-1-ARCH
I haven't tried any other yet.

Another issue is unable to reboot or shutdown gracefully, googling got me to this issue 8155, adding shutdown HOOK to mkinitcpio.conf and rebuilding initramfs-linux.img showed few errors less but the issue remains, I have to hard shutdown. Nothing interesting in journactl. Now the shutdown/reboot process looks like this and gets stuck again.
EDIT: It's not exactly stuck, I can still type, plugging and unplugging USB devices shows up, same as switching WiFi switch on/off, but does not progress anywhere.

Any tips where to dig to provide more logs or which kernel to try out on this old X220?

Thanks

I have x230 and after suspend I have to hard reboot. Almost everytime. I didnt have this problem on x230.

You didn't have that problem on X220 right?

I got another X220 tablet from shop which refurbishes them, switched the SSD and all works like a charm. Seems like the issue is the UEFI Bios version, this one has something from this summer, the older X220t has something from 2012.

I am gonna do some testing, flash few versions and if I get meaningful results I will update the wiki.

BTW this post is a nice suggestion to try sandybridge optimized kernel https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=242717, but I wonder how it would help compared to regular kernel.
