There were no comments, so I think I can go a bit further and add runtime PM support to those drivers too. :-)
This requires some core changes, but they aren't too invasive in my opinion.
Patches [1-6/15] are more-or-less the same as before modulo some fixes for bugs found during more thorough testing. The remaining patches make the following changes:
[7/15] - Clean up device PM initialization. [8/15] - Allow early platform device drivers to use runtime PM helper functions. [9/15] - Rename the "always_on" device flag to "syscore". [10/15] - Move the "syscore" flag to the core (from PM domains framework). [11/15] - Rework the "starting" of devices flagged as "irq safe" in PM domains. [12/15] - Add runtime PM support to the SH TMU driver. [13/15] - Add runtime PM support to the SH CMT driver. [14/15] - Add runtime PM support to the SH MTU2 driver. [15/15] - Stop using the "syscore" device flag for runtime PM.
Thanks, Rafael
