Subject[PATCH v4 3/3] PM: runtime: Clarify documentation when callbacks are unassigned
Date
Recent changes to the PM core allows ->runtime_suspend|resume callbacks to
be unassigned.

In the earlier behaviour the PM core would return -ENOSYS, when trying to
runtime resume a device, for example. Let's update the documentation to
clarify this.

- This time, really, fix spelling and further clarified the behaviour,
according to comments from Alan.

+Note that, in some cases it may not be desirable for subsystems/drivers to call
+pm_runtime_no_callbacks() for their devices. This could be because a subset of
+the runtime PM callbacks needs to be implemented, a platform dependent PM
+domain could get attached to the device or that the device is power managed
+through a supplier device link. For these reasons and to avoid boilerplate code
+in subsystems/drivers, the PM core allows runtime PM callbacks to be
+unassigned. More precisely, if a callback pointer is NULL, the PM core will act
+as though there was a callback and it returned 0.
