There is no reason to postpone it, even though TC2 builds with MCPM
enabled and both bL switcher and bL CPUidle driver disabled are
questionable but possible.

There are other issues with PM on TC2 that are not related to this
patch anyway, they can't be since this is a fix for a build issue on
a config that does not enable any PM at all.
