I think Rob might be thinking here of something like the runtime PM
autosuspend delay where once the final reference is dropped we wait some
time before we actually implement the power off in hardware, thus a
quick power cycle would never actually get implemented.  That does sound
like a good idea if we've got issues with quick cycling, obviously the
actual delay would still be needed but if you've got quick bounces
happening routinely then a delay like that would allow you to avoid both
power off and ramp delays.
