Opensuse 15.6 not hibernating any more (2)

I have searched everywhere for an equivalent ( to su -; echo 1 > /sys/firmware/efi/secret-key/regen ) for kernel 6.15 and I am stumped.

I t seems the issue is that the above relates to the

patch that allows generating and storing as UEFI variable a secret key used to encrypt hibernation image

(quoting from topic 184133) [in 15.6 stock aka 6.4] being missing in the 6.15 backport kernel. So my options seem to be:

  1. Revert to 15.6 Stock (6.4) kernel, breaking sound, dock support etc. on this laptop but regaining hibernation.
  2. Keep 6.15 and live without hibernation but enjoying the many other fixes
  3. Build my own kernel with the patch, though I assume I somehow have to sign it & enrol the signature in MOK before it will work with secure boot? And is the patch likely to be usable with 6.15? Maybe it’s not present for a good reason…

Thanks in advance
