For what it's worth, this post just helped me explain several years of failure to wake from sleep state, across several different MSI-based machines, when I've connected them to an HDMI port in my TV. I think this debug is interesting in its own right, and unlike 99% of the content on this website, it was directly and immediately useful to me. I doubt I'm the only one, too.

This post described a rare interoperability failure with unexpected root cause, of possible interest to:

  Motherboard designers
  People upgrading PCs/laptops
  SSD firmware developers
  BIOS developers attempting PCIe device boot
  OS/hypervisor developers attempting PCIe device reset

I personally found it interesting.

Slow week but people probably enjoy the methodical troubleshooting.
