I also upgraded several times since my report on 2016-02-24. I am convinced the bug is a combination of
  1) BIOS version (possible due to security fix of Vulnerability Note VU#976132 mentioned above)
  2) Linux kernel in general (regardless of kernel version or distribution)
  3) boot in UEFI mode

Tests of various combinations of BIOS, distribution and kernel underneath. "Cannot suspend" means can suspend once, but freezes on second suspend and after hard restart prints "Warning!!! Boot script table modified" boot message and freezes.

Lenovo S435, all boots in UEFI mode
  - BIOS BBCN16WW(V1.03)
      - Ubuntu mate 15.10 with kernel 4.2.0 => can suspend
      - Windows 8.1 => can suspend

  - since BIOS upgrade to BBCN16WW(V1.07)
      - Windows 8.1 => is unaffected and still can suspend
      - Ubuntu mate 15.10
          - with kernel 4.2.x => cannot suspend
      - Debian testing
          - with kernel 4.3.x => cannot suspend
          - with kernel 4.4.x => cannot suspend
          - with kernel 4.5.x => cannot suspend
          - with kernel 4.6.x => cannot suspend
      - OpenBSD 5.9 => completely fails to suspend even the first time, possibly due to unrelated issues or my incompetence (I will report progress if I manage to get it to suspend at least once)
