Posted.  I rebooted into the stock 4.5.1 kernel (direct from the Arch
repository) with drm.debug=0x1e added to the kernel command line, logged
in, suspended, resumed, and dumped the log with journalctl.  I took a
quick check through and didn't see any messages that indicated any sort
of failure after the suspend operation.  However there are a lot of
messages in there, so I could have missed something.  What I do know is
that after the resume from suspend, I get something on the order of a 2
Hz flicker on the display that looks like the eDP link is flapping -
i.e. there is tearing that affects the bottom portion of the display
more than the top due to the link going down in the middle of a frame,
portions of the display are briefly distorted or colored strangely, etc.
None of this happens on 4.1.21, which is where I will stay until this
gets a proper fix in the mainline.
