NOTE: patch 2 seems to have come in through a stable merge onto Chrome
OS 5.4 and is causing a regression when resuming from suspend.  In the
short term we've got a revert going into our tree:

https://crrev.com/c/2399101

...but that's obviously not a long term fix.  I haven't done any
debugging of this myself, though I can if there's nobody more
qualified to do it and/or nobody else has time.  I'm just trying to
make sure that the problem is reported somewhere where others might
notice it rather than in an obscure Chrome OS tree.  ;-)
