"PMFW will by default enable GFXOFF when there is no activity."
Checked again and this is false at least for Sienna Cichlid/NV1x.Driver 
must explicitly allow GfxOff first. In that sense, driver doesn't need 
to disable GFXOFF unless it has succeeded in enabling it.

Overall, the existing logic is fine. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,
