Ok I changed the code comment to a FIXME to explain what's going on (DC9
is totally irrelevant if I understand this correctly now) and amended the
commit message with a note about what I think is really going on. Please
double-check.

Also I realized that we have 0 test coverage for suspend-to-idle (and
oversight for merging this feature a few years back). Please add a new igt
testcase (maybe subtest of drv_suspend) to exercise this feature.

Making sure that we have sufficient igt coverage is part of the review and
especially something that _must_ be checked for bugfixes like this.

Thanks, Daniel
