Thanks Alice, and thanks to Krystian for the analysis on #2161309.

I agree this strongly looks like a duplicate of #2161309. The symptom,
the hardware class (ThinkPad T480, Intel UHD Graphics 620), and the
regression range (7.0.0-27 good, 7.0.0-28 bad) all match, and was
reported just a couple days earlier.

On the request to test mainline 7.1.4: I am unable to boot the Ubuntu
mainline builds on this machine in a straightforward way. As it's a
daily-driver work laptop, Secure Boot is enabled and the UEFI supervisor
password is set and not available to me, so I cannot enter firmware
setup to disable Secure Boot. The mainline builds ship as linux-image-
unsigned, which I think the firmware will reject? Enrolling a Machine
Owner Key to sign the mainline vmlinuz seems possible in principle (MOK
enrollment does not need the firmware password), but I would rather not
add a self-signed key to this machine's key store just for a one-off
test.

Given that #2161309 already confirms 7.1.4 fixes this on the same model
(T480 / UHD 620), and that commit
f30fddb4402313aa5301a74d721638d343395269 has been identified as the fix,
I am comfortable relying on that confirmation rather than reproducing it
on this unit. I can verify the fix on this machine once the SRU lands,
by removing the i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0 workaround and running
suspend/resume on the updated kernel.

If per-unit confirmation on this exact panel (LG LP140WF6-SPB7) is
needed before the SRU, do let me know and I will MOK-sign a mainline
7.1.4 build and report back.

In the meantime this machine is running 7.0.0-28 with
i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0 set in the GRUB options, and resume works
reliably.
