PM-runtime uses the timer infrastructure for autosuspend. This implies
that the minimum time before autosuspending a device is in the range
of 1 tick included to 2 ticks excluded
 -On arm64 this means between 4ms and 8ms with default jiffies
  configuration
 -And on arm, it is between 10ms and 20ms

These values are quite high for embedded systems which sometimes want
the duration to be in the range of 1 ms.

It is possible to switch autosuspend over to using hrtimers to get
finer granularity for short durations and take advantage of slack to
retain some margins and get long timeouts with minimum wakeups.

On an arm64 platform that uses 1ms for autosuspending timeout of its
GPU, idle power is reduced by 10% with hrtimer.

The latency impact on arm64 hikey octo cores is:
 - mark_last_busy: from 1.11 us to 1.25 us
 - rpm_suspend: from 15.54 us to 15.38 us
[Only the code path of rpm_suspend() that starts hrtimer has been
measured.]

arm64 image (arm64 default defconfig) decreases by around 3KB
with following details:

$ size vmlinux-timer
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
12034646	6869268	 386840	19290754	1265a82	vmlinux

$ size vmlinux-hrtimer
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
12030550	6870164	 387032	19287746	1264ec2	vmlinux

The latency impact on arm 32bits snowball dual cores is :
 - mark_last_busy: from 0.31 us usec to 0.77 us
 - rpm_suspend: from 6.83 us to 6.67 usec

The increase of the image for snowball platform that I used for
testing performance impact, is neglictable (244B).

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

And arm 32bits image (multi_v7_defconfig) increases by around 1.7KB
with following details:
