I was able to solve this issue by disabling the tpm 'trusted Platform
Module' using config(8).

dmesg:
> tpm0 at acpi0 TPM_ 1.2 (TIS) addr 0x4e/0x2

It seems 'TIS' is not a supported TPM chip type, and disabling it in
the BIOS is not enough to make it go away.

I include the fix here in case it helps someone else with
similar suspend/resume issues.

I never did find out how the display blanking is called on Suspend,
though.
