Update for the record. After looking a bit more I don't think this
patch is problematic. I think the problem was already there but after
this patch is easier to reproduce just because the PSR entry code work
is delayed a bit (before was called every 100ms). I think the problem
is more related with the current enable/disable path when panel is in
SR mode or not after a suspend/resume.

Anyway, I will continue the discussion on another thread when I find
the root cause.

Thanks,
Enric
