See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80773 (please ignore
comments up to #10 or so).

Please attach dmesg with drm.debug=14 module parameter set, from boot to
suspend/resume and the problem, running the debug patch from comment
#18. Preferrably please attach the dmesg on the bug to keep everything
in one place.

Thanks,
Jani.
