[PATCH v5] auxdisplay: arm-charlcd: Use DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS for power management

From: Li Jun

Date: Tue Aug 25 2026 - 06:37:41 EST


Replace the manually defined dev_pm_ops structure with the
DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS macro to simplify the power management
code, pm_sleep_ptr() to safely drop the references without
triggering compiler warnings. This macro automatically handles
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP configuration and generates freeze/thaw/poweroff/restore
callbacks, reducing boilerplate code.

Changes:
-Replace SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() in v1 v2 with DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() for pm.
-Corrected grammar errors in v1 v3 comment.
-Add a description of pm_sleep_ptr().
