I thought that initially.

But I found out that suspend/resume works just fine on the "problematic" 
platform (Dell Precision 3660, Intel ADL based) + AMD W6400 GFX card. 
With WX3200 or RX640, suspend/resume works only when ASPM was disabled. 
Both WX3200 and RX640 are from CHIP_POLARIS12 family.

This is why I take chip family approach.

Richard
