Hi Mario,

I am experiencing a regression on my laptop where attempting to power
off the machine results in an immediate reboot instead of a shutdown.

The last known good kernel is v7.1.7, while v7.1.8 is the first known
bad release.

I bisected the regression across 9 kernel builds and identified the
following commit as the first bad commit:

a7c855969b1a ("pinctrl-amd: Don't clear S4 wake bits at probe")

With this commit present, running:

systemctl poweroff

causes the laptop to power off and then immediately power back on.

I reverted this specific commit on top of v7.3.0-rc3 and the issue is
completely resolved. The laptop now powers off correctly and remains
off.

Hardware:
- Laptop: Chuwi CoreBook Plus 16
- DMI board vendor: Default string
- DMI board name: Default string
- DMI BIOS version: AB8139_S_2C_V00.01_007
- DMI BIOS date: 2025-08-05
- CPU reported by the system: AMD Ryzen 5 7430U with Radeon Graphics
- The CPU/hardware appears to correspond to Ryzen 5 5500U / Lucienne
silicon, although I am not certain whether this is relevant.

Software:
- Distribution: Arch Linux
- Last known good: v7.1.7
- First known bad: v7.1.8
- Current test kernel: v7.3.0-rc3 with a7c855969b1a reverted

I have verified the fix by booting the reverted kernel and testing
poweroff successfully.

Since the DMI board strings are generic ("Default string"), I would be
happy to provide an ACPI dump, dmesg output, kernel configuration,
bisect log, or perform additional testing if needed.

I suspect this may be related to an S4 wake source left enabled by the
firmware, but I have not identified the exact wake source yet.

Best regards,
Olzhas Marat

This is most likely a BIOS bug, but we need to dig into the details to understand more and decide what to do. It could also be a driver bug, most likely in a WLAN driver.

Can you please open a kernel bugzilla with the following information:

1) /sys/kernel/debug/gpio without the commit
2) /sys/kernel/debug/gpio with the commit
3) acpidump (just once)
4) amd-s2idle report (this will capture and associate some information that will make this easier to triage)

Please CC me into the bug report.

Thanks
