Yeah, looks like we don't fetch the PLL state on resume from hibernate,
leading to this warning.  The refcount is nonzero, indicating the pll
is in use, but the active field is clear, which means we're missing an
update somewhere.

Shuah, just to confirm, does your resume actually work ok aside from
the warning?  I *think* it's harmless in this case, but does indicate a
real bug in our state tracking... trying to come up with a patch now.
