Yes, as you can read from my other responses, I am not really keen on
having a multiplication of these macros.

The EXPORT_GPL_DEV_PM_OPS() macro does more than get rid of
boilerplate, it gets rid of dead code.

If we take this driver as an example, before the patch the
"tegra_pinctrl_pm" struct, as well as the "tegra_pinctrl_suspend" and
"tegra_pinctrl_resume" functions were always compiled in, even if
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is disabled in the config.

The status-quo before the introduction of the new PM macros was to just
wrap the dev_pm_ops struct + callbacks with a #ifdef CONFIG_PM_SLEEP.
This was pretty bad as the code was then conditionally compiled. With
the new PM macros this code is always compiled, independently of any
Kconfig option; and thanks to that, bugs and regressions are
subsequently easier to catch.
