one thing i miss on the pi hw is suspend support

it appears ( i don't currently have hw to test ) thanks to bhoot1234567890
the suspense i over and suspend is hear!
...at least for zw2

[Proof of Concept] VPU Suspend-to-RAM for BCM2710A1 (Pi Zero 2W)

https://github.com/bhoot1234567890/vc4-suspend

it is interesting to see this feature/demo

especially as i recently found that S3 will/has been removed and S0ix will replace it

Suspend/wake-up would be awesome..especially after x mins of inactivity <3
Though, tinycore (re)boots quite fast..what about auto-hybernate? (afaik they are two different strategies).

I don't fully get the vc4-suspend though, its kernelcode AND some flashing is required?

cool find though!

ps. I see what you did there ('the suspense is over') :D
