[PATCH v4 2/8] PCI: rzg3s-host: Fix runtime PM handling in the NOIRQ suspend/resume phase

From: Claudiu Beznea

The runtime PM documentation states the following:
- During system suspend, pm_runtime_get_noresume() is called for every
device right before executing the subsystem-level .prepare() callback
(in device_prepare()). In addition, the PM core disables runtime PM for
every device right before executing the subsystem-level .suspend_late()
callback (in device_suspend_late()).
- During system resume, pm_runtime_enable() is called for every device
right after executing the subsystem-level .resume_early() callback (in
device_resume_early()), and pm_runtime_put() is called right after
executing the subsystem-level .complete() callback (in
device_complete()).

The driver's .suspend_noirq() callback is invoked after .suspend_late(),
while .resume_noirq() is invoked before .resume_early().

If:
- the device is not part of the wake-up path, and
- its runtime PM status is not RPM_SUSPENDED,
the generic power domain .suspend_noirq()/.resume_noirq() callbacks
(genpd_suspend_noirq()/genpd_resume_noirq()) invoke the driver's
.suspend_noirq()/.resume_noirq() callbacks and call
genpd_stop_dev()/genpd_start_dev() before and after them, respectively.

Calling genpd_stop_dev()/genpd_start_dev() allows devices whose power is
controlled by generic power domains to be powered off and on during
system suspend and resume, even though their runtime PM usage count does
not reach zero.

Since the runtime PM usage count is incremented in device_prepare() and
decremented in device_complete(), runtime PM operations performed from
the driver's .suspend_noirq()/.resume_noirq() callbacks are no-ops. The
actual power transitions are handled by the generic power domain
.suspend_noirq()/.resume_noirq() callbacks.

Moreover, attempting to runtime resume a device while runtime PM is
disabled may return -EACCES. This may cause system resume to fail when
resuming after a failed Root Port reset, as described in a subsequent
patch adding hot-plug support.

Remove the runtime PM calls from the driver's
.suspend_noirq()/.resume_noirq() callbacks and rely on the generic power
domain callbacks to power the device off and on.
