[PATCH] drm/nouveau: fix hibernate on disabled GPU

[PATCH] drm/nouveau: fix hibernate on disabled GPU

[chr[]]

Hibernate bricks the machine if a discrete GPU was disabled via

echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

The freeze and thaw handler lacks checking the GPU power state,
as suspend and resume do.

This patch add the checks and fix this issue.

I got an old MacBook having a defective nvidia GPU

So I put this in the initrd scripts to turn it off asap:

mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

which powers down the nouveau.

Suspend and resume works,
but hibernate locks up the machine.

The handlers are not checking the GPU state.
