In my test environment using latest integration branch in 
renesas-drivers (v4.6), it failed to resume due to operation inside 
rcar_du_pm_resume().
Probably, it should be fixed soon.

FYI, your secure firmware will have Suspend-to-RAM support if below log 
is output.
    psci: PSCIv1.0 detected in firmware.

Thanks.
