The issue of "internal display fails to resume properly (switching VT brings it back)"
also affects sc7180 platform during some resumes. Do you see the issue consistently
during every resume?

I suspect this is not about "further issues with some 'Night Light' functionality
on one machine", but rather a more fundamental issue or race condition in the qcom
DRM devices stack, that is exposed when applying this patch. With this patch applied
DRM device state is lost after resume and setting the state is no longer possible.
Lots of kernel errors are printed if attempting to set DRM state such as the
Color Transform Matrix, when running a kernel with this patch applied.
Back in July 2024 I tested this patch on top of 6.9.8 and next-20240709,
observing below snippet being logged tens of times:

[drm:_dpu_rm_check_lm_and_get_connected_blks] [dpu error]failed to get dspp on lm 0
[drm:_dpu_rm_make_reservation] [dpu error]unable to find appropriate mixers
[drm:dpu_rm_reserve] [dpu error]failed to reserve hw resources: -119

Have you attempted setting CTM or other DRM state when running with this patch?
