Yeah, but that's correct but it still won't working correctly :)

See the problem is that only for the first caller 
cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns true because it canceled the delayed 
work.

For all others it returns false and those would then think that they 
need to ungate the power.

The only solution I see is to either put both the 
cancel_delayed_work_sync() and schedule_delayed_work() under the same 
mutex protection or start to use an atomic or other counter to note 
concurrent processing.

Yes, those should work as expected.
