I reverted the two drm merges:

ceb736c Merge branch 'drm-nouveau-fixes' of 
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/no
612a9aa Merge branch 'drm-next' of 
git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux

It is not surprising that it solved the deadlock (doing pm_test). 
Unfortunately, suspend/resume still does not work. System goes to sleep 
just fine, but when trying to resume the BIOS kicks in and system boots 
instead of waking up.
