In fact I was wrong - when it worked, it was using exactly those
patches :). With clean drm-tip - it seems to work ocassionally and it
doesn't update the actual display edid and other stuff, so even when
displays are changed we still see the old info/edid from userspace.

We always get a hpd irq when suspend/resume however it doesn't always
result in uevent being sent. So there is a real need in those patches.
