Still feels a bit too complicated, but might be needed for your hw. The
usual approach is:

- runtime pm within modeset enable/disable. Since atomic helpers always
  enable the entire pipeline for a crtc enable/disable you can put the
  runtime pm into each component (drm_crtc/encoder/bridge/...).

- just unconditionally restore everything in modeset enable, assuming
  everything got lost.

- drm_atomic_helper_suspend/resume for system suspend/resume.

And you should be covevered. State save/restore in your driver code is
indeed an anti-pattern for modeset drivers, don't do that - ime at least
with fragile hw you'll get divergence between the two paths in minor
details, with some really hard to track down bugs as a result.

Ime tracking state changes and trying to be clever with when to restore
stuff (maybe outside of some atomic flip fastpath) in driver code only
attracts bugs :-)

Yes.
