[PATCH] drm/msm/gpu: Fix crash when throttling GPU immediately during boot

[Stephan Gerhold]

There is a small chance that the GPU is already hot during boot. In that
case, the call to of_devfreq_cooling_register() will immediately try to
apply devfreq cooling, as seen in the following crash:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000000014110
  pc : a6xx_gpu_busy+0x1c/0x58 [msm]
  lr : msm_devfreq_get_dev_status+0xbc/0x140 [msm]

   ...

At this point we haven't initialized the GMU at all yet, so we cannot read
the GMU registers inside a6xx_gpu_busy(). A similar issue was fixed before
in commit 6694482a70e9 ("drm/msm: Avoid unclocked GMU register access in
6xx gpu_busy"): msm_devfreq_init() does call devfreq_suspend_device(), but
unlike msm_devfreq_suspend(), it doesn't set the df->suspended flag
accordingly. This means the df->suspended flag does not match the actual
devfreq state after initialization and msm_devfreq_get_dev_status() will
end up accessing GMU registers, causing the crash.

Fix this by setting df->suspended correctly during initialization.
