Hui? Wait a second, the firmware doesn't work but still causes an instant resume on suspend? Very strange.

Yeah, perfectly understandable.
My best guess is that it has something todo with a different clock routing on Macs, but without access to the hardware (or precise documentation from Apple what the heck they did different) I don't really see a chance to solve that problem.
If you want to hack a bit on it you could try commenting out the calls to "radeon_set_uvd_clocks" in radeon_uvd.c. That should give you the default clocks of 100Mhz, not enough for usable decoding, but on SUMO based UVD blocks a very failsafe default.
Whatever it is, please send me an output of lspci, so I can blacklist the offending chip.
Christian.
