(In reply to Kai-Heng Feng from comment #145)

Thank you very much for this optimistic-sounding info, Kai-Heng Feng.

How do I check if I have Skylake SoC?

I am actually currently using a modified bbswitch where I have disabled
the acpi calls.  The point of this is to force bumblebee to
automatically load and unload the nvidia modules before and after using
optirun.  I suspect there is an easier way but for now this works for
me.

I initially tried what you describe here but the audio part was preventing 
power management from happening because it was permanently flagged in use by 
the snd_hda_audio module.  Hence my work-around.

I am not interested in attempting to compile the kernel so will wait for
these two commits to make it into the stable release.  Reading their
descriptions, especially the second one, sounds like it is the perfect
fix for what I am experiencing.

Bug description:
  Dell XPS 15 (9750); it might eventually manage to suspend when the lid
  is closed, but more often than not will not wake up again when the lid
  is opened. Waking up using the power button often results in a system
  that is apparently frozen (graphics displayed are the last on screen
  before suspend, clock seconds do not change)

  System is unresponsive to the keyboard at that time (can't switch to a
  VT or otherwise interact with the system other than holding the power
  button for a few seconds to shut it down).
