Looks like we need, if I comment out SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS ops registration 
we don't suspend or resume anymore. I guess drm_driver suspend/resume 
functions are only used for PM runtime support, which we don't support 
yet, at least we added the basic requirements to add PM runtime support 
at some point in the future.

Anyway, even without PM runtime support we need to suspend and resume 
this device, other DRM drivers do this as well.
