PM / Domains: Document how PM domains are used by the PM core

The current power management documentation in Documentation/power/
either doesn't cover PM domains at all, or gives inaccurate
information about them, so update the relevant files in there to
follow the code.

Subsystem-Level Methods

The core methods to suspend and resume devices reside in struct dev_pm_ops
pointed to by the pm member of struct bus_type, struct device_type and
struct class. They are mostly of interest to the people writing infrastructure
for buses, like PCI or USB, or device type and device class drivers.

Bus drivers implement these methods as appropriate for the hardware and the
drivers using it; PCI works differently from USB, and so on. Not many people

All phases use bus, type, or class callbacks (that is, methods defined in
dev->bus->pm, dev->type->pm, or dev->class->pm). These callbacks are mutually
exclusive, so if the device type provides a struct dev_pm_ops object pointed to
by its pm field (i.e. both dev->type and dev->type->pm are defined), the
callbacks included in that object (i.e. dev->type->pm) will be used. Otherwise,
if the class provides a struct dev_pm_ops object pointed to by its pm field
(i.e. both dev->class and dev->class->pm are defined), the PM core will use the
callbacks from that object (i.e. dev->class->pm). Finally, if the pm fields of
both the device type and class objects are NULL (or those objects do not exist),
the callbacks provided by the bus (that is, the callbacks from dev->bus->pm)
will be used (this allows device types to override callbacks provided by bus
types or classes if necessary).
All phases use PM domain, bus, type, or class callbacks (that is, methods
defined in dev->pm_domain->ops, dev->bus->pm, dev->type->pm, or dev->class->pm).
These callbacks are regarded by the PM core as mutually exclusive. Moreover,
PM domain callbacks always take precedence over bus, type and class callbacks,
while type callbacks take precedence over bus and class callbacks, and class
callbacks take precedence over bus callbacks. To be precise, the following
rules are used to determine which callback to execute in the given phase:
1. If dev->pm_domain is present, the PM core will attempt to execute the
callback included in dev->pm_domain->ops. If that callback is not
present, no action will be carried out for the given device.
2. Otherwise, if both dev->type and dev->type->pm are present, the callback
included in dev->type->pm will be executed.
3. Otherwise, if both dev->class and dev->class->pm are present, the
callback included in dev->class->pm will be executed.
4. Otherwise, if both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are present, the callback
included in dev->bus->pm will be executed.
This allows PM domains and device types to override callbacks provided by bus
types or device classes if necessary.
These callbacks may in turn invoke device- or driver-specific methods stored in
dev->driver->pm, but they don't have to.

The ->runtime_suspend(), ->runtime_resume() and ->runtime_idle() callbacks

the following:
1. PM domain of the device, if the device's PM domain object, dev->pm_domain,
is present.
2. Device type of the device, if both dev->type and dev->type->pm are present.
3. Device class of the device, if both dev->class and dev->class->pm are
present.
4. Bus type of the device, if both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are present.
The PM core always checks which callback to use in the order given above, so the
priority order of callbacks from high to low is: PM domain, device type, class
and bus type. Moreover, the high-priority one will always take precedence over
a low-priority one. The PM domain, bus type, device type and class callbacks
are referred to as subsystem-level callbacks in what follows.
By default, the callbacks are always invoked in process context with interrupts
enabled. However, subsystems can use the pm_runtime_irq_safe() helper function
