Hmm, can't say I'm bursting with joy, but at least this looks as clean
as it can get, given the circumstances.

Let me explain my misgivings:

- the PMU callback (not your fault, I know) is questionable to me.
  This seems to be just the sort of thing that ought to be decided
  in user space. Besides, I think that the logic it implements is
  actually incorrect in GTA02. (Still need to prove that, though.)

- callbacks from one driver into another one always bear a risk of
  causing nasty problems when more locking gets added for some
  reason.

  I know that there are much worse offenders, e.g., I2C, but still.
