Comment:

 This does not duplicate #2765 (power down DCON chip to save power); it is
 not even blocked by #2765.  What it is blocked by is #4606 (XO can't
 resume based on a timer).

 The X DPMS code would power off the screen and backlight, if its 20-minute
 timer ever woke it up.  But because after a minute we're suspended, and
 suspend doesn't awaken based on timers, X never gets a chance to do its
 job.  The fix is to resume based on pending timers.
