Jacopo, would you be able to give this a try ?

Note that the CMM driver is controlled by the DU driver. As the DU
driver will reenable the display during resume, it will call
rcar_du_cmm_setup() at resume time, which will reprogram the CMM. There
should thus be no need for manual suspend/resume handling in the CMM as
far as I can tell, but we need to ensure that the CMM is suspended
before and resumed after the DU. I believe this could be implemented
using device links.
