The suspend here refers to device suspend, not system suspend. Adreno
goes into device suspend every time you stop using it, i.e. after the
rendering is done and there's no more work to do.

I suppose a good test scenario here would be to keep running and closing
kmscube in a rapid fashion and checking if the GPU starts crashing for
unknown reasons (the dmesg would denote that)

The more testing the merrier :)
