FYI

After reverting to 5.14.0-388 yesterday, stability is restored. I can
consistently suspend and resume without issues.

In hindsight, kernel 391 was also giving me issues. My wired network
would sporadically fail to come up after suspend. No amount of
fiddling would restore. Only rebooting. I have not seen that behavior
with 388 either.

This would suggest an issue with networking / suspend between 388 and 391.

Q: If I update, am I going to lose kernel 388? How can I persist that
one specific kernel indefinitely and still be able to update the rest
of the system?
