what does pm_runtime_get_supplier() do if IOMMU driver hasn't setup
device-link? If it is a no-op, then I guess the GPU driver calling
pm_runtime_get_supplier() seems reasonable, and less annoying than
having special cases in pm_resume path.. I don't feel too bad about
having "just in case" get/put_supplier() calls in the unmap path.
Also, presumably we still want to avoid powering up GPU even if we
short circuit the firmware loading and rest of "booting up the GPU"..
since presumably the GPU draws somewhat more power than the IOMMU..
having the pm_resume/suspend path know about the diff between waking
up / suspending the iommu and itself doesn't really feel less-bad than
just doing "just in case" get/put_supplier() calls.
