At some places, we take a pm_runtime vote and access the gpu
registers assuming it will be powered until we drop the vote.  a6xx_get_timestamp()
is an example. If we do a force suspend, it may cause bus errors from
those threads. Now you have to serialize every place we do runtime_get/put with a
mutex. Or is there a better way to handle the 'later patch' you
mentioned?
