Hm that could cause a problem, I know some of the reserved regs in that
region have bad side effects.

I'll cook up a patch to make a valleyview_disable_rps.

Having the work done after rps disable is probably ok, but it's still
messy.  I'll move the bits up above the rps disable call.  Since
they're sync that should serialize things.

And I'll fix up the mod timer; converting from timers and work queues
to delayed work isn't as mindless as it ought to be (I already caught
the INIT_DELAYED_WORK bug I had before too, groan).
