PM / Domains: Add preliminary support for cpuidle, v2
On some systems there are CPU cores located in the same power domains as I/O devices. Then, power can only be removed from the domain if all I/O devices in it are not in use and the CPU core is idle. Add preliminary support for that to the generic PM domains framework. First, the platform is expected to provide a cpuidle driver with one extra state designated for use with the generic PM domains code. This state should be initially disabled and its exit_latency value should be set to whatever time is needed to bring up the CPU core itself after restoring power to it, not including the domain's power on latency. Its .enter() callback should point to a procedure that will remove power from the domain containing the CPU core at the end of the CPU power transition. The remaining characteristics of the extra cpuidle state, referred to as the "domain" cpuidle state below, (e.g. power usage, target residency) should be populated in accordance with the properties of the hardware. Next, the platform should execute genpd_attach_cpuidle() on the PM domain containing the CPU core. That will cause the generic PM domains framework to treat that domain in a special way such that: * When all devices in the domain have been suspended and it is about to be turned off, the states of the devices will be saved, but power will not be removed from the domain. Instead, the "domain" cpuidle state will be enabled so that power can be removed from the domain when the CPU core is idle and the state has been chosen as the target by the cpuidle governor. * When the first I/O device in the domain is resumed and __pm_genpd_poweron(() is called for the first time after power has been removed from the domain, the "domain" cpuidle state will be disabled to avoid subsequent surprise power removals via cpuidle. The effective exit_latency value of the "domain" cpuidle state depends on the time needed to bring up the CPU core itself after restoring power to it as well as on the power on latency of the domain containing the CPU core. Thus the "domain" cpuidle state's exit_latency has to be recomputed every time the domain's power on latency is updated, which may happen every time power is restored to the domain, if the measured power on latency is greater than the latency stored in the corresponding generic_pm_domain structure.
