Merge tag 'pm-5.16-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix a system-wide suspend issue in the DTPM framework and
  improve the Energy Model documentation.

  Specifics:

   - Fix system suspend handling in DTPM when it is enabled, but not
     actually used (Daniel Lezcano)

   - Describe the new cpufreq callback for Energy Model registration and
     explain the "advanced" and "simple" EM variants in the EM
     documentation (Lukasz Luba)"

2.2 Registration of performance domains

Registration of 'advanced' EM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'advanced' EM gets it's name due to the fact that the driver is allowed
to provide more precised power model. It's not limited to some implemented math
formula in the framework (like it's in 'simple' EM case). It can better reflect
the real power measurements performed for each performance state. Thus, this
registration method should be preferred in case considering EM static power
(leakage) is important.
Drivers are expected to register performance domains into the EM framework by
calling the following API::

See Section 3. for an example of driver implementing this

Registration of 'simple' EM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'simple' EM is registered using the framework helper function
cpufreq_register_em_with_opp(). It implements a power model which is tight to
math formula::
Power = C * V^2 * f
The EM which is registered using this method might not reflect correctly the
physics of a real device, e.g. when static power (leakage) is important.

3. Example driver
-----------------
The CPUFreq framework supports dedicated callback for registering
the EM for a given CPU(s) 'policy' object: cpufreq_driver::register_em().
That callback has to be implemented properly for a given driver,
because the framework would call it at the right time during setup.
This section provides a simple example of a CPUFreq driver registering a
performance domain in the Energy Model framework using the (fake) 'foo'
protocol. The driver implements an est_power() function to be provided to the
