[Bug Report] Desktop monitor sleep regression

From: Brandon Nielsen <hidden>
Date: 2021-12-07 00:21:08

Monitors no longer sleep properly on my system (dual monitor connected 
via DP->DVI, amdgpu, x86_64). The monitors slept properly on 5.14, but 
stopped during the 5.15 series. I have also filed this bug on the kernel 
bugzilla[0] and downstream[1].

I have performed a bisect, first "bad" commit to master is 
55285e21f04517939480966164a33898c34b2af2[1], the same change made it 
into the 5.15 branch as e3b39825ed0813f787cb3ebdc5ecaa5131623647. I have 
verified the issue exists in latest master 
(a51e3ac43ddbad891c2b1a4f3aa52371d6939570).


Steps to reproduce:

   1. Boot system (Fedora Workstation 35 in this case)
   2. Log in
   3. Lock screen (after a few seconds, monitors will enter power save 
"sleep" state with backlight off)
   4. Wait (usually no more than 30 seconds, sometimes up to a few minutes)
   5. Observe monitor leaving "sleep" state (backlight comes back on), 
but nothing is displayed
