> [Test Case]
> 
> $ checkbox-cli run com.canonical.plainbox::suspend/suspend_advanced_auto

> [Where problems could occur]
> 
> This updates opaque firmware blobs, so it could bring further stability issues
> and/or power consumption changes.
> 
> [Other Info]
> 
> While RTL8851B is only supported in oem-6.5 and linux/mantic >= 6.4, only jammy
> and mantic are nominated for fix.
