Sorry, but this part is a no-go. This means you are doing all the PM
register reads/writes (which might be many) from the IRQ handler. This
is a crucial fast path in the driver, which affects the realtime
capabilities of the whole system, not just the GPU driver. I'll reject
any change which adds significant overhead here.

In general the sync point idea is fine, but what you might need to do
here is move the PM register handling and FE restart to a work item,
queued on the etnaviv WQ. This might add some latency to the GPU
restart after a sync point, but at least it won't affect the system as
a whole.
