If I'm not mistaken this will also have the side effect that display is 
not resumed in the "normal case" too, right?

I know the GPU you used doesn't have a display, but I'm just thinking 
about the callpaths and implications.

Would you be able to test this series specifically on an APU with a 
display connected to eDP and no compositor running (so no DRM master) to 
make sure it works as intended?
