Ok, so that's dbb17a21c131eca94eb31136eee9a7fe5aff00d9 in mainline.
Dave, Alex: that commit makes Jörg-Volker's HP Pavilion dv7 with hybrid graphics (AMD HD 4200 - AMD 5400) unable to run X. No suspend/resume in sight, just starting X hangs.
I'd guess it's the "radeon_switcheroo_set_state()" craziness (based on that hybrid graphics thing), but we need to do something since this is a regression.
Just revert for now? Or do you have other suggestions for Jörg-Volker to test?
Maybe that call to drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() should be purely in the real resume path?
Or maybe there is something that the switcheroo code does that just interacts badly with the code in drm_helper_hpd_irq_event()? Deadlock on mode_config.mutex or something?
I suspect we just need to revert, but if somebody who knows the code sees some obvious fix, holler quickly, please.
Linus
