SubjectRe: [RFC v2 1/3] PM / QoS: Add PM_QOS_MEMORY_BANDWIDTH class
Hi!

> Also adds a class type PM_QOS_SUM that aggregates the values by summing them.

Would mega bits per second make sense here?

I suppose some many-core systems would have memory bandwith
in > 10 terabit/sec, overflowing u32.

Plus, if driver in 3/3 is just an example, perhaps comment
should explain that clearly?

Otherwise looks good,
