For reference to others, here is the text of the freedesktop bug submission. Please follow-up there. This bug will be closed when the freedesktop bug is closed.

I've observed that from at least 3.17.1 through 3.19.1 (I don't know if
this worked previously), the MinnowBoard MAX (Firmware 0.77 or 0.78) will
suspend and resume successfully once, but fail to suspend after the
initial resume.

$ echo mem > /sys/power/state
<suspends successfully>
<press and release power button>
<system resumes>

The following Intel DRM PM warning appears on the console:

[   98.430013] Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)


The system does not suspend (display does not enter standby), and is
non-responsive to USB keyboard and serial console input.

If I blacklist the i915 module, the system will suspend and resume successfully repeatedly (I tried four in a row).

I have attached a dmesg log following the first successful resume with drm.debug=14. I saw no drm output after issuing the second suspend command.
