Thank you so much for your reply.
Yes, I already checked the latest mainline kernel changes until 5.2-**.
I see that there are many cleanup related changes, but still I see
that suspend/resume functions are missing in dw_hdmi-imx driver.
So, I am trying to implement myself.
Also, I see that suspend/resume is missing even in :
drivers/gpu/drm/imx/ipuv3-crtc.c
I am trying this also (not sure if we need this as well).

Can you point out some specific patches which can be helpful ?

Currently, what I observed is that hdmi bind() functions are not getting called.
Not sure who is responsible for triggering this bind function.
Or, irq remains disabled after resume, and we need to enable it back
again (but how ?)
Or, we may need to enable vblank events and thus irqs can be enabled.

So, I am exploring many possibilities.
If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks,
Pintu
