How can I activate the screen if it doesn't turn on after resuming from the S3 deep sleep state (suspend to RAM)?
The test for suspending to RAM appears to be successful.
# echo core > /sys/power/pm_test
# echo mem > /sys/power/state
The device seems suspending.
# echo none > /sys/power/pm_test
# echo mem > /sys/power/state
The power LED turns off. I can resume it by pressing a key. The device powers on, but the screen remains unresponsive.
I am able to type commands in the terminal and also hear system sounds.
# dmesg > log.txt
# reboot
Here are the dmesg messages recorded from the moment I initiated the suspension to RAM until right before I rebooted.

There is no such issue on Ubuntu or Fedora. But I can reproduce it there too by adding nomodeset to the kernel boot parameters. The issue persists on Trisquel and Guix systems both running blob-free kernels. So, I conclude that the issue is a consequence of a fallback mechanism when the kernel does not load firmware for AMD GPU with Ryzen 5 4500U. I suspect that it depends on the installed UEFI firmware capabilities but I am not sure how to investigate it.
Considering that I have access to the terminal after the system wakes from sleep, could I simply reset the display from the command line somehow?
