NB: the patch by itself missed an include for the prototype of the new
function called on resume.

Once I included the relevant drm include file it greatly improved resume
behavior: I managed to suspend at least once which has been impossible
for months (as soon as I entered an endless "catch up run" (fuite en
avant in french) due to a debian experimental libdrm package upgrade)).
However, it froze at second attempt.

I saw Linus integrated it so probably tomorrow...

Of course the "refresh" problem is still there as the patch is only for
resume path...
