The configuration files for suspend also have provisions for unloading specified modules before suspend and reloading them after resume. I don't know if that's in tlp, too; let me look at the script.
Yes--unloading the modules should work too, as long as mei_me is unloaded before mei, because mei_me is using mei. I'm not familiar with the suspend configuration files or script but it's probably worth trying it out and it's a good tip to perhaps keep mei up and running except during suspend/resume cycles. John Lewis noted that mei slows the performance of suspend on his Ubuntu web server (a C710), even though suspend remains functional on his computer, so I'm also rather interested in learning about any potential issues associated with just keeping it blacklisted 24/7/365!!!
Again, that's a good tip you've suggested. In all my hours of online searching through various kernel module problems that block suspend from working on various machines (not just Chromebooks), this is the first I've heard of that option.
