We normally runtime suspend when there are displays attached if they are in the DPMS off state, however, if something wakes the GPU we send a hotplug event on resume (in case any displays were connected while the GPU was in suspend) which can cause userspace to light up the displays again soon after they were turned off. Prior to commit 087451f372bf76 ("drm/amdgpu: use generic fb helpers instead of setting up AMD own's."), the driver took a runtime pm reference when the fbdev emulation was enabled because we didn't implement proper shadowing support for vram access when the device was off so the device never runtime suspended when there was a console bound. Once that commit landed, we now utilize the core fb helper implementation which properly handles the emulation, so runtime pm now suspends in cases where it did not before. Ultimately, we need to sort out why runtime suspend in not working in this case for some users, but this should restore similar behavior to before. v2: move check into runtime_suspend v3: wake ups -> wakeups in comment, retain pm_runtime behavior in runtime_idle callback Fixes: 087451f372bf76 ("drm/amdgpu: use generic fb helpers instead of setting up AMD own's.")

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
