Ah, I put that print at the top of the function - on second look now I
see that there's an awkward mix of per-lane and global data, and pwr_cnt
is actually the latter. Sure enough, moving the print past that check I
only see it once.

However, I still don't think blindly enabling all the lanes is the right
thing to do either; I'd imagine something like the (untested) diff below
would be more appropriate. That would then seem to balance with what
power_off is doing.

Thanks,
Robin.
