On the surface that sounds odd to me, but without understanding the
details, I guess I don't know if this is a valid thing to be doing or
even how that actually works!

Do you know if this version they are upstreaming could also yield during

not completed before we attempt to enter the LP2 state?

OK, well may be we will hold off on this change for the moment.
