So Rajendra and I found the problem.

The function _omap4_update_context_lost() reads the register 
RM_DSS_DSS_CONTEXT for all DSS hwmods, and increments the count if we 
read a non zero value. The issue is that the DSS's parent platform 
device (tied to dss_core hwmod) is called first when resuming, it 
correctly reads the register and observes that DSS lost context, and 
then clears the register.

When the children hwmods are enabled, the see that the registers are 
cleared, and hence never increment their count.

One option is to make the DSS driver use the context lost count of the 
hwmod corresponding to the parent platform device. It sort of makes a 
bit of sense as all the DSS platform devices belong to the same power 
domain, so considering only the parent's context lost count is not so bad.

The second option would be to have some usecounting mechanism in 
omap_hwmod where different hwmods belonging to the same power domain 
don't have their PM_CONTEXT registers cleared until all the hwmods are 
enabled.

The first option is easier to implement, here is a patch for the DISPC 
driver:

Subject: [PATCH] OMAPDSS: DISPC: Use DISPC's parent device to get context
  lost count

When enabling a hwmod, omap_hwmod refers to the register mentioned in the
hwmod struct's member 'prcm.omap4.context_offs' to see whether context was
lost or not. It increments the context lost count for the hwmod and then 
clears
the register.

All the DSS hwmods have the same register(RM_DSS_DSS_CONTEXT) as 
context_offs.
When DSS is enabled, the first hwmod to be enabled is the "dss_core" 
hwmod since
it's the parent platform device. The dss_core hwmod updates it's context 
lost
count correctly and clears the register. When the hwmods corresponding 
to the
children platform devices are enabled. They see that the register is 
clear, and
don't increment their context lost count. Therefore, all the children 
platfrom
devices never report a change in context.

The DISPC driver currently gets the context lost count for DSS from it's
corresponsing platform device instance. The DISPC platform device is one 
of the
child devices, and doesn't report the context lost count correctly.

Make the DISPC driver get the context lost count from it's parent. The 
parent
platform device's hwmod is the only one which correctly updates the 
context lost
count.
