  Ahh, right you are - that class suspend function does a check for
  DRIVER_MODESET, and only does the suspend/resume if it's not a
  MODESET driver.
 
  Ok, so I withdraw my objections to your original patch - it's
  confusing, but that's just because DRM is such a horrible mess with
  subtle things.

 Yeah the non-KMS paths just suck.

 Though hopefully you can get the PCI driver registration working w/o
 too much trouble; that would be even better.

 Actually, I have a working patch, with one tiny detail I'm not sure of.

 Namely, I need to call pci_set_drvdata(pdev, dev) unconditionally in 
 drm_stub.c
 for the things to work, but I _think_ it won't hurt even if we're not going to
 use the pdev's private data.

 The benefit of this is having just one code path for suspend/resume instead of
 two different code paths depending on whether the driver is using the KMS or
 not, which is well worth it IMO.

 The patch is appended.

NAK

for the reasons I explained in the previous email. This conflicts with systems
where intelfb and intel drm are used together, this is something that ppl do use
prior to KMS happening.

We just need to document in the headers why the hooks are needed,
and maybe a bit of patch review to make sure nobody removes them again.

Dave.

OK, so my original patch is the right one in that case.
