    PM / core: Add LEAVE_SUSPENDED driver flag · 0d4b54c6
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    Define and document a new driver flag, DPM_FLAG_LEAVE_SUSPENDED, to
    instruct the PM core and middle-layer (bus type, PM domain, etc.)
    code that it is desirable to leave the device in runtime suspend
    after system-wide transitions to the working state (for example,
    the device may be slow to resume and it may be better to avoid
    resuming it right away).
    
    Generally, the middle-layer code involved in the handling of the
    device is expected to indicate to the PM core whether or not the
    device may be left in suspend with the help of the device's
    power.may_skip_resume status bit.  That has to happen in the "noirq"
    phase of the preceding system suspend (or analogous) transition.
    The middle layer is then responsible for handling the device as
    appropriate in its "noirq" resume callback which is executed
    regardless of whether or not the device may be left suspended, but
    the other resume callbacks (except for ->complete) will be skipped
    automatically by the core if the device really can be left in
    suspend.
    
    The additional power.must_resume status bit introduced for the
    implementation of this mechanisn is used internally by the PM core
    to track the requirement to resume the device (which may depend on
    its children etc).
