FYI, this patch was eventually found to still leave few unsolved races
and was later replaced with a more comprehensive redesign of Rockchip
PSR code. Please refer to the following Chromium patches:

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/430429/
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/436571/
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/438228/
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/438229/
<- This one effectively replaces all the code added in this patch.
