Yes.

That's true as long as CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is enabled locally.

We can see in the tegra210_init_pllu() function that it'll not call
tegra210_enable_pllu() if pllu is already enabled (by bootloader).

You can verify it by adding an irqs_disabled() in this routine. The
function is called during system-boot and suspend-n-resume. And both
cases should be irqs_disabled().
