Thank you, Mario!

That's right. Thank you for the clarification, Lijo.

Rafael reminded me yesterday that there are 2 hibernation mode, controlled by `/sys/power/disk`.
The 2 mode will call different callbacks after saving the image:

shutdown mode, hibernate will go through following steps:
1. amdgpu_pmops_prepare
2. amdgpu_pmops_freeze
3. create image
4. amdgpu_pmops_thaw
5. amdgpu_pmops_complete
6. save image

7. amdgpu_pci_shutdown


platform mode, hibernate will go through following steps:
1. amdgpu_pmops_prepare
2. amdgpu_pmops_freeze
3. create image
4. amdgpu_pmops_thaw
5. amdgpu_pmops_complete
6. save image

7. amdgpu_pmops_prepare
8. amdgpu_pmops_poweroff

This code is just to skip the step 7 of platform mode hibernation, 
prepare to power off.

adev->in_suspend is false in step 2, so it will not return in new the check.
adev->in_suspend is true in step 7, it will return in new the check.
