Problem with resume from suspend
Linux (not Gentoo only) can not return from suspend mode, problem is with BIOS firmware.
Check BIOS version:
# dmidecode -s bios-version
GRET29WW (1.06 )
If BIOS version is less than 1.13 you need to upgrade BIOS. You can find the latest version on download page > select "Component: BIOS" > BIOS Update (Bootable CD). (ignore that it supposed to be used with Windows)

- ThinkPad X1 Carbon Type 20A7 20A8 - BIOS Update Utility for Windows (Doc DS039782)
Follow this instructions: BIOS Upgrade
ATTENTION!
Still problem is not solved after updating to BIOS 1.16 / ECP 1.15
