This sounds _really_ suspicious to me and it feels like you're just
pushing around timing to get lucky and avoid the problem. Generally if
decreasing delays like this fixes a functional problem then the
problem is still there (just hidden) and has the potential to come
back if a little extra delay shows up.

I don't understand _why_ it's important for DRM runtime resume to
complete before the system enters sleep. Is this causing the Mediatek
DRM driver to get confused? I would have expected that if the system
went fully into suspend that it would have totally powered off the
panel and then when we resume the panel shouldn't maintain any state
from before the suspend.

...so this needs to be debugged more and a real fix needs to be made.

For future reference: please don't put a blank line between the
"Fixes" and the "Signed-off-by".
