This is a backport of mainline commit
1e78a0c7fc92aee076965d516cf54475c39e9894.

The TMU device on the Mackerel board belongs to the A4R power domain
and loses power when the domain is turned off.  Unfortunately, the
TMU driver is not prepared to cope with such situations and crashes
the system when that happens.  To work around this problem introduce
a new helper function, pm_genpd_dev_always_on(), allowing a device
driver to mark its device as "always on" in case it belongs to a PM
domain, which will make the generic PM domains core code avoid
powering off the domain containing the device, both at run time and
during system suspend.

This is a backport of mainline commit

Power domains that were off before hibernation shouldn't be turned on
during device restore, so prevent that from happening.

This change fixed up mainline commit

This is a backport of mainline commit
65533bbf63b4f37723fdfedc73d0653958973323.

During resume from hibernation pm_genpd_restore_noirq() should only
power off domains whose suspend_power_off flags are set once and
not every time it is called for a device in the given domain.
Moreover, it shouldn't decrement genpd-&gt;suspended_count, because
that field is not touched during device freezing and therefore it is
always equal to 0 when pm_genpd_restore_noirq() runs for the first
device in the given domain.

This means pm_genpd_restore_noirq() may use genpd-&gt;suspended_count
to determine whether or not it it has been called for the domain in
question already in this cycle (it only needs to increment that
field every time it runs for this purpose) and whether or not it
should check if the domain needs to be powered off.  For that to
work, though, pm_genpd_prepare() has to clear genpd-&gt;suspended_count
when it runs for the first device in the given domain (in which case
that flag need not be cleared during domain initialization).

<title>PM / Domains: Fix handling of wakeup devices during system resume</title>

commit cc85b20780562d404e18a47b9b55b4a5102ae53e upstream.

During system suspend pm_genpd_suspend_noirq() checks if the given
device is in a wakeup path (i.e. it appears to be needed for one or
more wakeup devices to work or is a wakeup device itself) and if it
needs to be "active" for wakeup to work.  If that is the case, the
function returns 0 without incrementing the device domain's counter
of suspended devices and without executing genpd_stop_dev() for the
device.  In consequence, the device is not stopped (e.g. its clock
isn't disabled) and power is always supplied to its domain in the
resulting system sleep state.

However, pm_genpd_resume_noirq() doesn't repeat that check and it
runs genpd_start_dev() and decrements the domain's counter of
suspended devices even for the wakeup device that weren't stopped by
pm_genpd_suspend_noirq().  As a result, the start callback may be run
unnecessarily for them and their domains' counters of suspended
devices may become negative.  Both outcomes aren't desirable, so fix
pm_genpd_resume_noirq() to look for wakeup devices that might not be
stopped by during system suspend.

Fixes a bootstrapping issue for some registers when a less commonly used
method for register cache initialisation is used.  Only affects a fairly
small proportion of users that both don't use explicit register defaults
and do use the cache.

Currently registers with a value of 0 are ignored when initializing the register
defaults from raw defaults. This worked in the past, because registers without a
explicit default were assumed to have a default value of 0. This was changed in
commit b03622a8 ("regmap: Ensure rbtree syncs registers set to zero properly").
As a result registers, which have a raw default value of 0 are now assumed to
have no default. This again can result in unnecessary writes when syncing the
cache. It will also result in unnecessary reads for e.g. the first update
operation. In the case where readback is not possible this will even let the
update operation fail, if the register has not been written to before.

So this patch removes the check. Instead it adds a check to ignore raw defaults
for registers which are volatile, since those registers are not cached.

Due to the sysdev conversion to struct device, the cpu objects get
reused when adding a cpu after offlining it, which causes a big warning
that the kobject portion is not properly initialized.

So clear out the object before we register it again, so all is quiet.

Finally it takes about 55s to create 16400 memory entries.

Root cause: for x86_64, 2048g (with 2g hole at [2g,4g), and TOP2 will be 2050g), will have 16400 memory block.

find_memory_block/subsys_find_device_by_id will be expensive with that many entries.

Actually, we don't need to find that memory block for BOOT path.

Skip that finding make it get back to normal.

Also solved the delay with topology_init when sections_per_block is not 1.

<title>driver core: cpu: remove kernel warning when removing a cpu</title>

With the movement of the cpu sysdev code to be real stuct devices, now
when we remove a cpu from the system, the driver core rightfully
complains that there is not a release method for this device.

For now, paper over this issue by quieting the driver core, but comment
this in detail.  This will be resolved in future kernels to be solved
properly.

Here are some patches for the 3.3-rc1 tree.

It contains the removal of the sysdev code, now that all users of it are
gone, as well as some sysfs bugfixes that have been reported by users.
There are also some documentation updates here as well.

* tag 'driver-core-3.3-rc1-bugfixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
  sysfs: Complain bitterly about attempts to remove files from nonexistent directories.
  stable: update documentation to ask for kernel version
  base/core.c:fix typo in comment in function device_add
  Documentation: devres: add allocation functions to list of supported calls
  Documentation update for the driver model core
  kernel-doc: fix new warnings in driver-core
  kernel-doc: fix new warnings in debugfs
  kernel-doc: fix new warnings in device.h
  driver core: remove drivers/base/sys.c and include/linux/sysdev.h
