This isn't quite ready for merge, and needs a little more testing with
current DSS driver and mainline.

Due to sleepdeps/autodeps, when this code runs, DSS powerdomain is
always on.  The result is that CORE is always set to INACTIVE.

A side effect of this problem is exposing a known issue with PER wakeups
(UART3, GPIO).  Since CORE never goes to retention/off, IO-pad
wakeups are never enabled, so PER wakeups do not work.

I think we need a different way of checking for DSS activity.

Sounds like another usecase for idle notifiers.
