Seems like the idea is to suspend/resume the device on DPMS off/on. A
rather moot point IMHO.
As the DPMS semantics and the whole modeset, got more subtle with
atomic modeset, the idea gets even more moot.

If the documentation has that process - sure nuke it. Although for
dynPM, this code is essential.
Considering a) one has interest in dynPM and b) the code is (close to) working.

The last two are very big ifs so I'll leave it there.
