drm/gma500: Possible deadlock in gma_power_begin()

[Alexey Khoroshilov]

gma_power_begin() starts with locking power_ctrl_lock spinlock and then,
if gma_resume_pci(dev->pdev) succeed, it calls
  psb_irq_preinstall(dev);
  psb_irq_postinstall(dev);

psb_irq_postinstall() does some pipestat enabling/disabling dance:
    if (dev->vblank[0].enabled)
        psb_enable_pipestat(dev_priv, 0, PIPE_VBLANK_INTERRUPT_ENABLE);
    else
        psb_disable_pipestat(dev_priv, 0, PIPE_VBLANK_INTERRUPT_ENABLE);

where
void psb_enable_pipestat(struct drm_psb_private *dev_priv, int pipe, u32
mask)
{
    if ((dev_priv->pipestat[pipe] & mask) != mask) {
        u32 reg = psb_pipestat(pipe);
        dev_priv->pipestat[pipe] |= mask;
        /* Enable the interrupt, clear any pending status */
        if (gma_power_begin(dev_priv->dev, false)) {
            u32 writeVal = PSB_RVDC32(reg);
            writeVal |= (mask | (mask >> 16));
            PSB_WVDC32(writeVal, reg);
            (void) PSB_RVDC32(reg);
            gma_power_end(dev_priv->dev);
        }
    }
}

So, if a flag in dev_priv->pipestat[pipe] is not in agreement with
dev->vblank[0].enabled,
we will have a call to gma_power_begin() again and got an unavoidable
deadlock.

Thus it seems either some code is unneeded at all or we could have a
deadlock from time to time.
What do you think?
