But in this case the plugin is just stubs. The only function that does
something is omap_pm_get_dev_context_loss_count. And then patch 8 in
this series starts adding a new omap specific features for constraints.

So the problem is patches 1 & 8 in this series. The rest is just fine
as it's the necessary omap hardware specific implementation.

Well I don't think we should start building new omap specific layer on
an omap specific framework.

Instead, the constraint layer should be made generic to start with, even
if it's just a minimal implementation initially.

Maybe it could be just a generic header file to start with?
