This specific implementation forces a 200ms limit, effectively overriding the driver's knowledge and causing the mode change to time out prematurely, which results in a black screen (never waking up).

The change to increase the timeout was already made more than a year ago 
[1].
Could you please try with the latest drm-tip and see if the issue still 
persists?
