I was looking at this a bit with Stéphane. One thing we both see is that
the bit isn't sticking as it should. Clearly doing the write is having
an effect, but something is seriously wrong. Writing the bit manually
with IGT does make the bit stick.

Stéphane, could you try to write the bit with IGT before and after
resume, and see if it helps?

Adding Jesse to the CC, since he wrote the original patch, maybe he has
an idea why it doesn't stick.
