Correct, verified this just now.

Here are the relevant dmesg lines after wakeup:

[  157.622950] [drm] enabling PCIE gen 2 link speeds, disable with
radeon.pcie_gen2=0

And this is logged in Xorg.0.log after wakeup:

[   229.956] (II) RADEON(0): Allocate new frame buffer 320x200 stride 384
[   229.956] (II) RADEON(0): VRAM usage limit set to 219596K

xrandr still shows the eDP output as connected and active with 2560x1440 resolution.

The backlight is definitely off. I've tried to shine a torch onto the panel and
see if any content is visible, but it looks like the panel itself is off, too.

Can I perhaps use radeontool for this? I.e. dump registers before and after
sleep and see if there's a difference? Or is radeontool too old to know about
the correct registers?
