The pmic_glink_altmode_worker() currently gets scheduled on the system_wq.
When the system is suspended (s2idle), the fact that the worker can be
scheduled to run while devices are still suspended provesto be a problem
when a Type-C retimer, switch or mux that is controlled over a bus like
I2C, because the I2C controller is suspended.
This has been proven to be the case on the X Elite boards where such
retimers (ParadeTech PS8830) are used in order to handle Type-C
orientation and altmode configuration. The following warning is thrown:

The solution here is to schedule the altmode worker on the system_freezable_wq
instead of the system_wq. This will result in the altmode worker not being
scheduled to run until the devices are resumed first, which will give the
controllers like I2C a chance to resume before the transfer is requested.
