This may help a little. I added printk("intel_crtc 2") inside
intel_crtc_reset() and added printk("intel_crtc 1") before calling
intel_crtc_reset().

Looking at  dmesg, it looks like something else is calling
intel_crtc_reset() and not from intel_crtc_init() during resume.

intel_crtc 2 ffff880239cdf000
intel_crtc 2 ffff880239cdf800
