Potentially. As a means to clear a stuck GPU and force it to idle.

But irrelevant, since it is undone on any of the resume pathways which
must be taken by this point.

Resume has been for many years the method to unwedge a GPU; with the
presumption being that the intervening PCI level reset would be enough
to recover the GPU. Otherwise, it would presumably quite quickly go back
into the wedged state.

The wedging on suspend is just there to cancel outstanding work. Which
is not what we want (we just want to remove work), but is what we have
for the moment. The sanitize is to make sure we don't leak our state
beyond our control of the HW.
