Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: fix failure to power off after hibernate

This fixes a bug where hibernation completes, but the system
fails to power off after the image has been saved.

Bisection lead to commit da2bc1b9db33 ("drm/i915: add poweroff_late
handler") which added a .poweroff_late hook pointing to the same
function as the .freeze_late hook, without any justification or
explanation why this would be correct, except "for consistency".

The assumption that this "makes the power off handling identical to
the S3 suspend and S4 freeze handling" is completely bogus. As clearly
documented in Documentation/power/devices.txt, the poweroff* hooks
are part of the hibernation API along with the freeze* hooks.  The
phases involved in hibernation are:

   prepare, freeze, freeze_late, freeze_noirq, thaw_noirq, thaw_early,
   thaw, complete, prepare, poweroff, poweroff_late, poweroff_noirq

With the above sequence in mind, it should be fairly obvious that you
cannot save registers and disable the device in both the freeze_late
and poweroff_late phases.  Or as Documentation/power/devices.txt
explains it:

 The poweroff, poweroff_late and poweroff_noirq callbacks should do essentially
 the same things as the suspend, suspend_late and suspend_noirq callbacks,
 respectively.  The only notable difference is that they need not store the
 device register values, because the registers should already have been stored
 during the freeze, freeze_late or freeze_noirq phases.

The "consistency" between suspend and hibernate was already in
place, with freeze_late pointing to the same function as suspend_late.
There is no need for any poweroff_late hook in this driver.

This reverts commit da2bc1b9db33.
