Uhm, no.

Why "the two" patches?

This email, part of this thread,

https://lore.kernel.org/all/87r0kircdo.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

clearly states that reverting *only* this commit,
56e449603f0ac5 drm/sched: Convert the GPU scheduler to variable number of run-queues
*does not* mitigate the failed suspend. (Furthermore, this commit doesn't really change
anything operational, other than using an allocated array, instead of a static one, in DRM,
while the 2nd patch is solely contained within the amdgpu driver code.)

Leaving us with only this change,
b70438004a14f4 drm/amdgpu: move buffer funcs setting up a level
to be at fault, as the kernel log attached in the linked email above shows.

The conclusion is that only b70438004a14f4 needs reverting.
