Public bug reported:

[Impact]
Disabling PSR helps some platforms but breaks others. So let's not play
this whack-a-mole game.

In addition to that, PSR can provide significant power saving, let Intel
SoC reach PC10 or even SLP_S0 withouth turning screen off.

[Fix]
Drop PSR workaround and stick to upstream code.

[Test]
Monitor numbers in /sys/kernel/debug/pmc_core/*

With PSR enabled, some Tiger Lake laptops can reach SLP_S0 without
turning screen off.

[Regression Potential]
Panels that don't work well with PSR may break again. If that ever
happens, we can introduce a blacklist on panels.
