Of course, we can do this. Such as add a linux,delaytime property:
For those systems that don't suffer this issue, need not add this property, instead of check the value is 0 as you suggested.
For those systems that would suffer this issue, need add this property and then give a appropriate value

So that users can change the autosuspend delay time via device tree, it is more flexible for different systems. If you agree with it, I will send a V2.
