OK, so back to square... well, not one, but definitely back to the registers
(SMC and GPU).

As mentioned, the diff for the GPU registers before/after suspend is huge,
there's 117 register values that have changed. I assume that most of them are
actually internal frame pointers, but which ones? I tried to find some of that
information in drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/, but quickly got lost :-/

Regarding the SMC, there's actually only one key that consistently seems to have
a different value whether the display is on or off:

However, even with my modified SmcDumpKeys.c which I can use to enable TDM, I
cannot write to that key. Since other MV__ keys control the display, too, it
would make sense that that is related to the display state, but it seems to be a
read-only key :-/

Running out of ideas again... any suggestions?

Best, Florian
