Asus F5RL laptop unable to resume from S3 because of radeon module

[Ondrej Zary]

Hello,
resume from suspend-to-RAM (S3) on Asus F5RL laptop does not work.
According to many reports found by Google, it was always been that and there
is no fix or workaround.

Did some tests:

radeon module loaded (usual state):
After "echo mem>/sys/power/state", the laptop suspends correctly (power LED
blinks). When power button is pressed, power LED goes on and that's all.
No more activity, machine is frozen completely.

radeon module not loaded at all:
Laptop resumes correctly (keyboard LED work, network works), only the LCD is
blank (obviously). Loading radeon module now initializes the card properly:
LCD goes on and console works.

radeon module loaded (but fbcon module not loaded) and then unloaded:
Machine freezes the same way as when the module is loaded.

So it looks like the radeon module does some initialization that prevents
resume from working.

Hibernation works fine.

Any ideas what to test or how to debug this?
