As maintainer of an rtw89 repo at GitHub, I have seen lots of complaints
about this kind of hangups. Nearly all of these happen with Lenovo
laptops. The remainder are a few HP machines.

For some reason, the BIOS or the PCI interface in the Lenovo laptops are
incompatible with the PCI code used in RTW89. My laptop is a Toshiba
from 2014, and it never has any problems, thus I cannot diagnose the
difficulty. The same is true for the software developers in Taiwan, with
whom I have discussed the problem.

This is the first I have heard that the problem started/got worse around
April 11. That sounds like a candidate for bisection, which would have
to be done with the mainline kernel, or even better, the one at
wireless-next
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless-
next.git). Due to special patches in the GitHub version needed to build
on older kernels, I upgrade the repo in batches, and lose the details of
each individual patch from wireless-testing.
