I used to use my Macbook pro with kubuntu 20.04 as power bank while on the road by keeping it suspended, and it worked fine. After the recent upgrade this stopped working.
As soon as the laptop is suspended, all the usb ports are turned off. It works with the MacOS, and it was previously working with linux too.
I tried to alter the USB suspend settings via tlp and via grub parameters with no success.
Here is the syslog:

Sep 28 18:42:46 ferenci84-MacBookPro systemd[1]: NetworkManager-dispatcher.service: Succeeded.
I can only think that the package linux-firmware upgrade from 1.187.16 to 1.187.17 caused the problem.
Any help is appreciated, like which package may have anything to do with this, where to look for log messages that are helpful, or how can I force the USB to keep turned on via the command-line.
I also noticed that while the system is booting up, the usb port is turned on and off several times.
Please let me know via comments what extra info should I include in the question.
