This is the only write to the SCR control reg and the driver is 
*inhibiting* transition to either powersave mode.

Yet, the device is in slumber ps mode.

This is to clear SCR status.

Can you please do the followings?

1. With the previous patch applied, do cold reboot.  Power off the 
machine.  If possible turn off the master switch on the power supply. 
What ten secs.  Boot and see if anything is different.

2. If that doesn't make any difference, with the previous patch backed 
out (patch -R -p1) and the new patch attached here applied, do cold boot 
and post the log.

Thanks.
