It sure likes enabling the vdd. But I guess it usually leaves it on even
if it decided to light up an external display instead. Not 100% sure
though.

I think currently we may even just leave the panel on when unloading.
However...
3) S3. I don't think we wait for the power cycle delay when suspending
so if resume happens fast enough we'll violate the power cycle delay.
Seems more likely than the other cases.
Probably the best solution for all the self inflicted cases would be
to wait for the power cycle delay before
suspending/unloading/rebooting/whatever. We only do the reboot thing
in vlv/chv for some random reason. I tried to add a global reboot
notifier here: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/102739/
but I never managed to finish that work. IIRC it was suggested that
we'd probably want a full blown suspend on reboot anwyay.
For the GOP turned the vdd on and off again case we have no solution
other than to a) trust the GOP not to do that, b) keep doing the
pessimistic thing we do now.
