I didn't try 5.10.0-rc1 yet.
I suspect some kind of deep sleep mode that seems to survive hard reboot.
I'm on a laptop where I can't remove the battery and I don't have a double 
boot to Windows to make a test.
As additionnal context, before kernel 5.9.1, I was using the rtl8821ce driver 
for openSUSE TW which packages the driver from the tomaspinho github repo: 
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:Sauerland/rtl8821ce/rtl8821ce.spec?expand=0

And my wifi was working perfectly fine.

Since then I tried to blacklist the rtw_8821ce driver and use the rtl8821ce 
driver compiled for 5.9.1 and the behaviour is exactly the same: no wifi 
either when the rtl8821ce is loaded by the kernel.
