Ulf Hansson ca765a8cfe PM / Domains: Introduce dev_pm_domain_start()
For a subsystem/driver that either doesn't support runtime PM or makes use
of pm_runtime_set_active() during ->probe(), may try to access its device
when probing, even if it may not be fully powered on from the PM domain's
point of view. This may be the case when the used PM domain is a genpd
provider, that implements genpd's ->start|stop() device callbacks.

There are cases where the subsystem/driver managed to avoid the above
problem, simply by calling pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_get_sync()
during ->probe(). However, this approach comes with a drawback, especially
if the subsystem/driver implements a ->runtime_resume() callback.

More precisely, the subsystem/driver then needs to use a device flag, which
is checked in its ->runtime_resume() callback, as to avoid powering on its
resources the first time the callback is invoked. This is needed because
the subsystem/driver has already powered on the resources for the device,
during ->probe() and before it called pm_runtime_get_sync().

In a way to avoid this boilerplate code and the inefficient check for "if
(first_time_suspend)" in the ->runtime_resume() callback for these
subsystems/drivers, let's introduce and export a dev_pm_domain_start()
function, that may be called during ->probe() instead.

Moreover, let the dev_pm_domain_start() invoke an optional ->start()
callback, added to the struct dev_pm_domain, as to allow a PM domain
specific implementation.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
