We are holding forcewake and pm ref. So this is paranoia.
But as the dmc don't obey us leading to state mismatch,
I thought this is the way to force (throught the hw sync)
the dm state as disabled before we hit the reset button.

Another way would be to introduce intel_power_domains_reset().
Looks like _*suspend() does too much for reset.

Me too. This is all ducttape until the root cause is known.
