As a FYI here is the latest branch I tested that patch on:
https://github.com/gibsson/linux-next/commits/master-mtk/

As far as I remember suspend/resume was ok. It was tested with a
Tungsten510 SMARC SOM (MT8370) + sn65dsi83 + tm070jdhg30 display.
Both the bridge and the display are mainline, you can see that the main
change is in the defconfig where a bunch of options are changed to be
built-in (for NFS booting).

I'll try to repro against latest kernel this week and report back.

In your case, is the panel upstream as well?

Regards,
Gary
