Yes, I see.  You could use an older kernel like the 5.1R cd.

Trace 1:
wakeup(c2944100,0,c06a7546,140,6c) at wakeup+0x4
AcpiOsSignalSemaphore(c2944100,1) at AcpiOsSignalSemaphore+0xa8

AcpiUtReleaseToCache(3,c295e760,cdb64ad8,c045ac17,c295e760) at AcpiUtReleaseToCache+0x8c

Trace 2:

AcpiOsSignalSemaphore(c2944100,1) at AcpiOsSignalSemaphore+0xc8
AcpiUtReleaseMutex(9,8,c045f9cc,c2965940,c12a0c00) at AcpiUtReleaseMutex+0x8c
AcpiUtAcquireFromCache(2,cdb64bf4,c0462229,c12a0c00,cdb64c34) at AcpiUtAcquireFromCache+0x53

Both of these show that acpi_task_thread is calling a task and then
AcpiOsSignalSemaphore is hanging.  I'm wondering if your system can't
handle the acpi interrupt being moved to irq 20.  Please try this
(untested) patch that should disable moving the SCI to irq 20.  jhb can
probably address this better than I.
