Hm this is somewhat surprising, at least with atomic, since DPMS as a
separate thing doesn't exist anymore - it's the same path as any other
modeset. With the suspend/resume helpers even the same as after
resume. But of course in reality there's always potential for some
differences between boot-up state and what your atomic_disable leaves
behind to creep in.

Just figured I drop this in quickly, always great to have more hw
drivers showing up!
