I hand modified the patches for other changes missing from linux-next in 
your base.

I checked on an APU with an eDP display connected and from a VT 
hibernate does keep the display off now so this is definitely an 
improvement there too.

Is this one right?  Don't we still want to call prepare() for all the HW 
IP blocks?  The eviction call that happens in prepare() is a no-op but 
there are other IP blocks with an prepare_suspend() callback like DCN.

That is I think you're destroying the optimization from commit 
50e0bae34fa6b ("drm/amd/display: Add and use new dm_prepare_suspend() 
callback") by adding this code here.
