From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Add a driver_flags field to struct dev_pm_info for flags that can be
set by device drivers at the probe time to inform the PM core and/or
bus types, PM domains and so on on the capabilities and/or
preferences of device drivers. It is anticipated that more than one
flag of this kind will be necessary going forward.
Define and document a SAFE_SUSPEND flag to instruct bus types and PM
domains that the system suspend callbacks provided by the driver can
cope with runtime suspended devices, so from the driver's perspective
it should be safe to leave devices in runtime suspend during system
suspend.

+Some bus types and PM domains have a policy to runtime resume all

During system-wide resume from a sleep state it's easiest to put devices into
the full-power state, as explained in :file:`Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt`.
