    PM / runtime: Use device links · 21d5c57b
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    Modify the runtime PM framework to use device links to ensure that
    supplier devices will not be suspended if any of their consumer
    devices are active.
    
    The idea is to reference count suppliers on the consumer's resume
    and drop references to them on its suspend.  The information on
    whether or not the supplier has been reference counted by the
    consumer's (runtime) resume is stored in a new field (rpm_active)
    in the link object for each link.
    
    It may be necessary to clean up those references when the
    supplier is unbinding and that's why the links whose status is
    DEVICE_LINK_SUPPLIER_UNBIND are skipped by the runtime suspend
    and resume code.
    
    The above means that if the consumer device is probed in the
    runtime-active state, the supplier has to be resumed and reference
    counted by device_link_add() so the code works as expected on its
    (runtime) suspend.  There is a new flag, DEVICE_LINK_RPM_ACTIVE,
    to tell device_link_add() about that (in which case the caller
    is responsible for making sure that the consumer really will
    be runtime-active when runtime PM is enabled for it).
    
    The other new link flag, DEVICE_LINK_PM_RUNTIME, tells the core
    whether or not the link should be used for runtime PM at all.
