Soon distros will ship the UVD firmware by default and then users will
need to manually remove it and then do the same with every update.
Besides, I just discovered that when UVD is enabled suspend resume
breaks - tried 3 times with SUMO_uvd loaded - machine suspends but
resumes instantly.
Without SUMO_uvd.bin - suspends fine and only wakes up when I want it to.

I happen to have the problematic card in my iMac - I'd be glad to
provide any info or try any patches. Just let me know.
For now I will remove the firmware - I reboot /suspend-resume often
and it is a bit annoying to have to go through those mdelays only to
fail.

Thanks,
Parag
