At least w/ the current patch, disable_dpu should not be called for
screen-off (although I'd hope if all the screens are off the device
would suspend).  But I won't claim to be a pm expert.. so not really
sure if this is the best approach or not.  I don't think our
arrangement of sub-devices under a parent is completely abnormal, so
it does feel like there should be a simpler solution..
