pm_access / pm_dev_idle was removed from recent kernels. This should
stop confusion.

/*
* Device idle/use detection
*
* In general, drivers for all devices should call "pm_access"
* before accessing the hardware (ie. before reading or modifying
* a hardware register). Request or packet-driven drivers should
* additionally call "pm_dev_idle" when a device is not being used.
*
* Examples:
* 1) A keyboard driver would call pm_access whenever a key is pressed
* 2) A network driver would call pm_access before submitting
* a packet for transmit or receive and pm_dev_idle when its
* transfer and receive queues are empty.
* 3) A VGA driver would call pm_access before it accesses any
* of the video controller registers
*
* Ultimately, the PM policy manager uses the access and idle
* information to decide when to suspend individual devices
* or when to suspend the entire system
*/
/*
* Description: Update device access time and wake up device, if necessary
*
* Parameters:
* dev - PM device previously returned from pm_register
*
* Details: If called from an interrupt handler pm_access updates
* access time but should never need to wake up the device
* (if device is generating interrupts, it should be awake
* already) This is important as we can not wake up
* devices from an interrupt handler.

/*
* Description: Identify device as currently being idle
*
* Parameters:
* dev - PM device previously returned from pm_register
*
* Details: A call to pm_dev_idle might signal to the policy manager
* to put a device to sleep. If a new device request arrives
* between the call to pm_dev_idle and the pm_callback
* callback, the driver should fail the pm_callback request.
