And for each check /proc/fb, the kernel boot log, and if Suspend-to-RAM works.

If the explanation above is correct, then I would expect (1) and (2) to work and
(3) to also fail.
Your testing confirms my assumptions. I'll check how this could be solved to

I've posted [0] which does this and also for the simplefb driver.

I applied the patch and it fixes the issue for me.
Thank you!
