Could you file a bug with your distribution regarding this?

It will only show Suspend if the system says it supports suspend. System
should detect suspend doesn't work and not advertise the ability to
suspend.

IMO menu should still stay poweroff as you could just close the lid for
suspend.. but doesn't matter for the argument: system (kernel or
whatever) should not advertise suspend if it doesn't work

For me suspend works.. I can successfully suspend..  It's coming out of suspend that cause a problem.  In which case, even though suspend work, re-animation is broken.  So it needs to detect both parts.  For me I think it's some kind of problem with my disk (SSD) and not the usual graphics driver.
