Here's the (substantial) dmesg output, with drm.debug=0xf:

I haven't been able to find any references to link training, though.

AFAICT the RV730 indeed has dce3, so I created a register dump before and after
suspend:
http://floe.butterbrot.org/external/radeon/regs_before_suspend.txt
http://floe.butterbrot.org/external/radeon/regs_after_suspend.txt

The diff, however, is quite large, I have no idea which registers to look for.
