PM: domains: inform PM domain of a device's next wakeup
Some devices may have a predictable interrupt pattern while executing usecases. An example would be the VSYNC interrupt associated with display devices. A 60 Hz display could cause a interrupt every 16 ms. If the device were in a PM domain, the domain would need to be powered up for device to resume and handle the interrupt. Entering a domain idle state saves power, only if the residency of the idle state is met. Without knowing the idle duration of the domain, the governor would just choose the deepest idle state that matches the QoS requirements. The domain might be powered off just as the device is expecting to wake up. If devices could inform PM frameworks of their next event, the parent PM domain's idle duration can be determined. So let's add the dev_pm_genpd_set_next_wakeup() API for the device to inform PM domains of the impending wakeup. This information will be the domain governor to determine the best idle state given the wakeup.
