In principle ACPI/PCI middle-layer/PM domain could have started out by
respecting the return values from driver's ->prepare() callbacks in
case those existed, but they didn't, and that is the reason to why the
SMART_PREPARE is needed. Right?
My point is, I don't think we should encourage other middle-layer to
support the SMART_PREPARE flag, simply because they should be able to
cope without it. To make this more obvious we could try to find a
different name of the flag indicating that, or at least make it clear
that we don't want it to be used by others than ACPI/PCI via
documenting that.

So if the driver don't implement the ->prepare() callback, you still
want to treat this flag as it has one assigned and that it returns 0?
It seems not entirely according to what you have documented about the flag.

I am wondering if we really need to make a statement generic to all
"driver PM flags" that these flags must be set at ->probe(). Maybe
that is better documented per flag, rather than for all. The reason
why I bring it up, is that I would not be surprised if a new flag
comes a long and which may be used a bit differently, not requiring
that.
Of course we can also update that later on, if needed.
