This commit is causing me problems on 5.10.4: when I turn off the 
display (a LG TV in this case), and turn it back on again later there is 
no video output and I get the following in the kernel log:

[ 8245.259628] [drm:dm_restore_drm_connector_state [amdgpu]] *ERROR* 
Restoring old state failed with -12

I've found another report on this commit as well:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211033

And I suspect this is the same:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/69202

Reverting it from 5.10.4 makes things behave again.

Have not tested 5.4.86 or 5.11-rc.

I'm using a RX570 Polaris based card.
