One could expect that... but the Exynos DRM driver behaves differently
(and some other drivers also). In resume method it calls
drm_helper_resume_force_mode() which forces restoring mode setting
configuration. Apparently setting a mode needs DPMS on:
static void exynos_drm_crtc_commit(struct drm_crtc *crtc)
{
	...
	exynos_drm_crtc_dpms(crtc, DRM_MODE_DPMS_ON);
	...

The previous DPMS status (status during suspend) is completely ignored
here.

I dunno why... maybe someone from DRM could share some thoughts?


Best regards,
Krzysztof
