Could we split that in two patches? 1+2 in one patch, and 3 in another.
These are two orthogonal fixes IMO.

I know it's the only irq being stored at the panfrost_device level, but
I think it's clearer if we explicitly prefix it with gpu_.

I kinda agree with that, but that's not exactly why we're
masking+syncing IRQs here. If that was the only reason, the right fix
would be to modify GPU_IRQ_MASK_ALL so it doesn't include the PWRTRANS
bits.

This fix should cover more than just the power transition IRQ use case:
we want all IRQs to be disabled before the device is suspended.

Could we move that to a panfrost_gpu_suspend_irq() helper? I'm also not
sure making it part of panfrost_gpu_power_off() is a good idea. I'd
rather have this panfrost_gpu_suspend_irq() helper called from
panfrost_device_[runtime_]suspend(), along with
panfrost_{mmu,job}_suspend_irq().

It was safe before too, it's just that we probably don't want to be
interrupted, if all we do is ignore the interrupts we receive, hence
the suggestion to not use GPU_IRQ_MASK_ALL, and only enable the
IRQs we care about instead.

I really think we should have a helper doing the 'write(PWROFF_{LO,HI} +
poll(PWRTRANS_{LO,HI})' sequence, similar to what's done here [1][2],
such that, once we got it right for one block, we have it working for
all of them. And if there's a fix to apply, it automatically applies
to all blocks without having to fix the same bug in each copy.

Note that these panthor_gpu_block_power_{on,off}() helpers also handle
the case where power transitions are already in progress when you ask a
new power transition, which I don't think is checked in
panfrost_gpu_power_{off,on}().

Not introduced by the patch, but I noticed args passed on the second
line are no longer aligned on the open parens.
