Freeze on shutdown if computer was suspended after last startup

[Michal Kukuča]

When I'm using Nouveau drivers with my Asus notebook (F556UQ-DM953T) and Ubuntu 17.10, I can't shutdown the computer properly if I suspended the machine previously. The notebook uses the Optimus configuration (Intel HD + NVIDIA GeForce 940MX).

Scenario 1:
1. Startup computer.
2. Normal usage.
3. Shutdown > Everything works.

Scenario 2:
1. Startup computer.
2. Normal usage.
3. Suspend (e.g. by closing the lid) > Wakeup.
4. Normal usage.
5. Shutdown > Computer freezes and must be turned off using the power button. There is absolutely nothing in the journal (when it comes to this boot session). It seems that nothing gets written to it after the shutdown command.

Workaround: Use the proprietary NVIDIA drivers with "Power Saving Mode" - everything works as expected there.
