My point is that if the fb cma helpers gets later extended with a feature that
need special handling and suspend/resume time, with the
drm_fbdev_cma_set_suspend_unlocked() function properly updated to take that
feature into account, driver using those helpers but converted to
drm_atomic_helper_suspend/resume() will break.

OK, if you remove the function completely then anyone wanting to extend the
fbdev cma helpers in the way described above will notice that something will
need to be done, so it's fine. Please thus make sure that you go all the way
to removing that function.
