Flashed seabios_withgrub_x200_8mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_usqwerty.rom on a x200 (that used to run some libreboot version).

When the laptop is suspended, devices connected to the USB ports get no power.

I recall at some point (not necessarily with libreboot, and certainly not with this specific laptop), I could suspend (rather than hibernate) the x200 and it would still output power on USB ports, which was useful to recharge e.g. my pocket watch while I slept, and make sure it wouldn't run out of battery before the alarm clock went off.

Suspending the laptop was important for me in such circumstances, because otherwise the noise from its fan would disturb my sleep.

IIRC the proprietary BIOS made this configurable.

It would be IMHO desirable to be able to configure it with GNU Boot as well.

If it would be acceptable to change this default, or even to make it configurable, I'd be glad to look into how to implement them, but that could take a while.
