From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Define and document a SMART_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.
Setting that flag may also cause middle-layer code (bus types,
PM domains etc.) to skip invocations of the ->suspend_late and
->suspend_noirq callbacks provided by the driver if the device
is in runtime suspend at the beginning of the "late" phase of
the system-wide suspend transition, in which case the driver's
system-wide resume callbacks may be invoked back-to-back with
its ->runtime_suspend callback, so the driver has to be able to
cope with that too.

-> v2: Drop the changes in main.c, as the logic implemented by them
previously is now going to be implemented in the PCI bus type
and the ACPI PM domain directly.

+Some bus types and PM domains have a policy to resume all devices from runtime
+suspend upfront in their ``->suspend`` callbacks, but that may not be really
+necessary if the driver of the device can cope with runtime-suspended devices.
+The driver can indicate that by setting ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` in
+:c:member:`power.driver_flags` at the probe time, by passing it to the
+:c:func:`dev_pm_set_driver_flags` helper. That also may cause middle-layer code
+(bus types, PM domains etc.) to skip the ``->suspend_late`` and
+``->suspend_noirq`` callbacks provided by the driver if the device remains in
+runtime suspend at the beginning of the ``suspend_late`` phase of system-wide
+suspend (or in the ``poweroff_late`` phase of hibernation), when runtime PM
+has been disabled for it, under the assumption that its state should not change
+after that point until the system-wide transition is over. If that happens, the
+driver's system-wide resume callbacks, if present, may still be invoked during
+the subsequent system-wide resume transition and the device's runtime power
+management status may be set to "active" before enabling runtime PM for it,
+so the driver must be prepared to cope with the invocation of its system-wide
+resume callbacks back-to-back with its ``->runtime_suspend`` one (without the
+intervening ``->runtime_resume`` and so on) and the final state of the device
+must reflect the "active" status for runtime PM in that case.

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`.
