Sorry, but I am lost here.
If this drivers does not have the extra load that you describe here then
I really cannot see why it is relevant for this driver to describe it.

This is a seldomly touched driver - so it helps if the changelog when we
finally touch the code is easy to parse.

This part matches the patch - good.

What I think you are explaining above is that the pci pm support
will only call the suspend operation in case of suspend, so the
state.event == PM_EVENT_SUSPEND can be dropped in gxfb_suspend().

For reference later I would prefer that this is explained a bit
more explicit - not that the changelog needs update anyway.

Patch looks good, but please give the changelog one more go.
I have not checked other patches - but I assume they would benefit
from a similar clarification.
