But in this case, we should have a plane_config from HW readout that has
a recovered VMA? I presume the same takeover code is run after resume as
on init...

On the other hand, if the plane_state was removed from the hardware, its
VMA would be unpinned and we would be free to rebind it in a new location.
Provided the obj itself wasn't freed, the VMA will be kept. However, we
still risk a potential error on remapping (if the vma was unbound during
suspend). That's not a huge risk though, and does require the VMA to be
actually unbound on suspend.
