PM / Runtime: Implement autosuspend support

This patch (as1427) implements the "autosuspend" facility for runtime
PM.  A few new fields are added to the dev_pm_info structure and
several new PM helper functions are defined, for telling the PM core
whether or not a device uses autosuspend, for setting the autosuspend
delay, and for marking periods of device activity.

Drivers that do not want to use autosuspend can continue using the
same helper functions as before; their behavior will not change.  In
addition, drivers supporting autosuspend can also call the old helper
functions to get the old behavior.

The details are all explained in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt
and Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-power.

+Description:
+		The /sys/devices/.../power/autosuspend_delay_ms attribute
+		contains the autosuspend delay value (in milliseconds).  Some
+		drivers do not want their device to suspend as soon as it
+		becomes idle at run time; they want the device to remain
+		inactive for a certain minimum period of time first.  That
+		period is called the autosuspend delay.  Negative values will
+		prevent the device from being suspended at run time (similar
+		to writing "on" to the power/control attribute).  Values >=
+		1000 will cause the autosuspend timer expiration to be rounded
+		up to the nearest second.
+
+		Not all drivers support this attribute.  If it isn't supported,
+		attempts to read or write it will yield I/O errors.

 5. Run-time PM Initialization, Device Probing and Removal
 
@@ -561,3 +625,115 @@ As a consequence, the PM core will never directly inform the device's subsystem
 or driver about run-time power changes.  Instead, the driver for the device's
 parent must take responsibility for telling the device's driver when the
 parent's power state changes.
+
+9. Autosuspend, or automatically-delayed suspends
+
+Changing a device's power state isn't free; it requires both time and energy.
+A device should be put in a low-power state only when there's some reason to
+think it will remain in that state for a substantial time.  A common heuristic
+says that a device which hasn't been used for a while is liable to remain
+unused; following this advice, drivers should not allow devices to be suspended
+at run-time until they have been inactive for some minimum period.  Even when
+the heuristic ends up being non-optimal, it will still prevent devices from
+"bouncing" too rapidly between low-power and full-power states.
+
+The term "autosuspend" is an historical remnant.  It doesn't mean that the
+device is automatically suspended (the subsystem or driver still has to call
+the appropriate PM routines); rather it means that run-time suspends will
+automatically be delayed until the desired period of inactivity has elapsed.
+
+Inactivity is determined based on the power.last_busy field.  Drivers should
+call pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() to update this field after carrying out I/O,
+typically just before calling pm_runtime_put_autosuspend().  The desired length
+of the inactivity period is a matter of policy.  Subsystems can set this length
+initially by calling pm_runtime_set_autosuspend_delay(), but after device
+registration the length should be controlled by user space, using the
+/sys/devices/.../power/autosuspend_delay_ms attribute.
+
+In order to use autosuspend, subsystems or drivers must call
+pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() (preferably before registering the device), and
+thereafter they should use the various *_autosuspend() helper functions instead
+of the non-autosuspend counterparts:
+
+	Instead of: pm_runtime_suspend    use: pm_runtime_autosuspend;
+	Instead of: pm_schedule_suspend   use: pm_request_autosuspend;
+	Instead of: pm_runtime_put        use: pm_runtime_put_autosuspend;
+	Instead of: pm_runtime_put_sync   use: pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend.
+
+Drivers may also continue to use the non-autosuspend helper functions; they
+will behave normally, not taking the autosuspend delay into account.
+Similarly, if the power.use_autosuspend field isn't set then the autosuspend
+helper functions will behave just like the non-autosuspend counterparts.
+
+The implementation is well suited for asynchronous use in interrupt contexts.
+However such use inevitably involves races, because the PM core can't
+synchronize ->runtime_suspend() callbacks with the arrival of I/O requests.
+This synchronization must be handled by the driver, using its private lock.
+Here is a schematic pseudo-code example:
+
+	foo_read_or_write(struct foo_priv *foo, void *data)
+	{
+		lock(&foo->private_lock);
+		add_request_to_io_queue(foo, data);
+		if (foo->num_pending_requests++ == 0)
+			pm_runtime_get(&foo->dev);
+		if (!foo->is_suspended)
+			foo_process_next_request(foo);
+		unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+	}
+
+	foo_io_completion(struct foo_priv *foo, void *req)
+	{
+		lock(&foo->private_lock);
+		if (--foo->num_pending_requests == 0) {
+			pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(&foo->dev);
+			pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(&foo->dev);
+		} else {
+			foo_process_next_request(foo);
+		}
+		unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+		/* Send req result back to the user ... */
+	}
+
+	int foo_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev)
+	{
+		struct foo_priv foo = container_of(dev, ...);
+		int ret = 0;
+
+		lock(&foo->private_lock);
+		if (foo->num_pending_requests > 0) {
+			ret = -EBUSY;
+		} else {
+			/* ... suspend the device ... */
+			foo->is_suspended = 1;
+		}
+		unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+		return ret;
+	}
+
+	int foo_runtime_resume(struct device *dev)
+	{
+		struct foo_priv foo = container_of(dev, ...);
+
+		lock(&foo->private_lock);
+		/* ... resume the device ... */
+		foo->is_suspended = 0;
+		pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(&foo->dev);
+		if (foo->num_pending_requests > 0)
+			foo_process_requests(foo);
+		unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+The important point is that after foo_io_completion() asks for an autosuspend,
+the foo_runtime_suspend() callback may race with foo_read_or_write().
+Therefore foo_runtime_suspend() has to check whether there are any pending I/O
+requests (while holding the private lock) before allowing the suspend to
+proceed.
+
+In addition, the power.autosuspend_delay field can be changed by user space at
+any time.  If a driver cares about this, it can call
+pm_runtime_autosuspend_expiration() from within the ->runtime_suspend()
+callback while holding its private lock.  If the function returns a nonzero
+value then the delay has not yet expired and the callback should return
+-EAGAIN.
