From my vantage looking at all the different freeze bug reports, there
are definitely multiple freeze bugs out there. I can also easily
imagine that individuals are experiencing multiple ones. Since freezes
are hard to tell apart, one typically assumes all the freezes are being
caused by the same bug, but that's not necessarily true.

So, I could easily imagine that one bug gets solved, so one person sees
the issue completely go away, while another person who had that bug plus
another freezer, merely sees the freezes reduce in frequency.

That said, the change to #345796 was to fix a crash bug when entering
DPMS, not a freeze situation. I suppose possibly fixing that also
resolved secondary issues, but I've seen too many cases where a freeze
seemingly went on vacation for a day or so, but then came back with full
fury.

Anyway, Jithin since your experience is differing from the original
reporter, if you want your issue analyzed as well you should report your
bug separately.
