[Impact]

To whom it may concern:

I was experiencing frequent wake-ups from s0i3x on a HP Pro 435 G9 convertible [1] using the Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 Soc [2]. The issue is related to FW revision WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.9 that comes bundled with Ubuntu 22.10.

It appears the SoC increasingly triggering  wake-ups after being suspended for approx. 4 hrs.

Read the full story at [4].

The solution is to upgrade SoC firmware to rev WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.23/ [3]

[Fix]

Upgrade firmware, as mentioned above.

[Test case]

TBD.

[Where Problems might occur]

It's firmware, what could possibly go wrong? If so, connectivity issues wit ath11k based NICs.
