The generic PM domains core code currently requires domains to be in
the "power on" state for adding devices to them, but this limitation
turns out to be inconvenient in some situations, so remove it.

For this purpose, make __pm_genpd_add_device() set the device's
need_restore flag if the domain is in the "power off" state, so that
the device's "restore state" (usually .runtime_resume()) callback
is executed when it is resumed after the domain has been turned on.
If the domain is in the "power on" state, the device's need_restore
flag will be cleared by __pm_genpd_add_device(), so that its "save
state" (usually .runtime_suspend()) callback is executed when the
domain is about to be turned off.  However, since that default
behavior need not be always desirable, add a helper function
pm_genpd_dev_need_restore() allowing a device's need_restore flag
to be set/unset at any time.

The results of the default device stop and domain power off governor
functions for generic PM domains, default_stop_ok() and
default_power_down_ok(), depend only on the timing data of devices,
which are static, and on their PM QoS constraints.  Thus, in theory,
these functions only need to carry out their computations, which may
be time consuming in general, when it is known that the PM QoS
constraint of at least one of the devices in question has changed.

Use the PM QoS notifiers of devices to implement that.  First,
introduce new fields, constraint_changed and max_off_time_changed,
into struct gpd_timing_data and struct generic_pm_domain,
respectively, and register a PM QoS notifier function when adding
a device into a domain that will set those fields to 'true' whenever
the device's PM QoS constraint is modified.  Second, make
default_stop_ok() and default_power_down_ok() use those fields to
decide whether or not to carry out their computations from scratch.

The device and PM domain hierarchies are taken into account in that
and the expense is that the changes of PM QoS constraints of
suspended devices will not be taken into account immediately, which
isn't guaranteed anyway in general.

<title>PM / Domains: Rework default domain power off governor function, v2</title>

The existing default domain power down governor function for PM
domains, default_power_down_ok(), is supposed to check whether or not
the PM QoS latency constraints of the devices in the domain will be
violated if the domain is turned off by pm_genpd_poweroff().
However, the computations carried out by it don't reflect the
definition of the PM QoS latency constrait in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-power.

Make default_power_down_ok() follow the definition of the PM QoS
latency constrait.  In particular, make it only take latencies into
account, because it doesn't matter how much time has elapsed since
the domain's devices were suspended for the computation.

Remove the break_even_ns and power_off_time fields from
struct generic_pm_domain, because they are not necessary any more.

The existing default device stop governor function for PM domains,
default_stop_ok(), is supposed to check whether or not the device's
PM QoS latency constraint will be violated if the device is stopped
by pm_genpd_runtime_suspend().  However, the computations carried out
by it don't reflect the definition of the PM QoS latency constrait in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-power.

Make default_stop_ok() follow the definition of the PM QoS latency
constrait.  In particular, make it take the device's start and stop
latencies correctly.

Add a new field, effective_constraint_ns, to struct gpd_timing_data
and use it to store the difference between the device's PM QoS
constraint and its resume latency for use by the device's parent
(the effective_constraint_ns values for the children are used for
computing the parent's one along with its PM QoS constraint).

Remove the break_even_ns field from struct gpd_timing_data, because
it's not used any more.

Pull &lt;linux/device.h&gt; avoidance patches from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like:

	void foo(struct device *dev);

  and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the
  sub fields within the device struct.  This allows us to significantly
  reduce the scope of headers including headers.  For this instance, a
  reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the
  simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct.

  Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two
  commits.  One to fix the implicit &lt;linux/device.h&gt; users, and then one
  to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir wherever
  possible."

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.

The &lt;linux/device.h&gt; header includes a lot of stuff, and
it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device"
which appears so often.

Clean up the users as follows:

1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer
in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that.

2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply
delete the include altogether.

3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before
being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h

4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit
dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding
the required header(s).

Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be
present have already been dealt with in advance.

Total removals from #1 and #2: 51.  Total additions coming
from #3: 9.  Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7.

As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives
about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/*

dev_gpd_data() is a generic macro, also useful for drivers. Hence it should
be available also when CONFIG_PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS is not selected. OTOH,
to_gpd_data() is so far unused outside of the generic PM domain code and
does not seem to be very useful without CONFIG_PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS.

A device node pointer is added to generic pm domain structure to associate
the domain with a node in the device tree. The platform code parses the
device tree to find available nodes representing the generic power domain,
instantiates the available domains and initializes them by calling
pm_genpd_init().

Nodes representing the devices include a phandle of the power domain to
which it belongs. As these devices get instantiated, the driver code
checkes for availability of a power domain phandle, converts the phandle
to a device node and uses the new pm_genpd_of_add_device() api to
associate the device with a power domain.

pm_genpd_of_add_device() runs through its list of registered power domains
and matches the OF node of the domain with the one specified as the
parameter. If a match is found, the device is associated with the matched
domain.
