This has been enabled by Suse and Fedora since a while. Lets also enable this for newer GPUs, which should yield longer battery time, when in sleep.

reducing battery drain—especially on laptops

Is there any source? Because the NVIDIA documentation is not so clear about this:

S0ix-based suspend will consume more power than legacy S3 system suspend, but it will enter and exit suspend/resume more quickly.

(https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/580.65.06/README/powermanagement.html)

Generally, I don't mind, just want to make sure there are no major regressions.

I've had no problem for a few month with suspend on my NVidia GTX 970, but since a few days it crashes again and displays a long journal full screen with no way out. After removing this parameter, then restarting, suspend seems to work again (i've only tried once after a 2 min inactivity)
Will this parameter revert back automatically on any update ?

Edit :
I've ran this command with a "Not Supported" result
grep 'Video Memory Self Refresh' /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000\:01\:00.0/power
