NVIDIA driver seems to prevent suspending on laptop

Hello everyone,

I have this issues for 1-2 weeks now, that I am unable to get my laptop to suspend properly. Whenever I try to suspend (closing the lid, letting the laptop sit for a while or "loginctl suspend"), the screen just turns black, but the system keeps running. In the case of manually running "loginctl suspend", it goes to a TTY-screen for a brief moment, and ends up showing the SDDM locked user screen, but it never reaches sleep mode. This is obviously an issue for an portable device, as it drains the battery with zero usage.
I didn't get too far with narrowing down the root of the issue, as I updated alot of packages before I noticed this issue. But my dmesg log seems to give some insight:

I am running a ThinkPad T470p with hybrid graphics (Intel HD630, NVIDIA Geforce 940MX), with the default "linux" kernel, runit as my init system and Plasma+SDDM as my DE/WM. Currently I have these packages related to nvidia installed:
Code: [Select]
nvidia 565.57.01-1.2
nvidia-prime 1.0-5
nvidia-utils 565.57.01-1
opencl-nvidia 565.57.01-1

As mentioned I am not sure, whether it really is an issue of the nvidia driver itself, or the Linux kernel, or KDE Plasma or Wayland or whatever. The Arch Linux wiki mentions some systemd-service files (that obviously are not bundled in Artix) that should be activated, but I don't think they are the problem, as the system supended fine few updates ago.

Thanks in advance,

Little update: After removing nvidia and nvidia-utils with pacman -Rcs and rebooting, I was able to put my laptop to sleep again.

So I'm now 100% sure, that it is an issue with the nvidia driver. 2 questions still remain though:
- What did the update do to break suspending?
- How am I able to solve it?
