PM QoS device start/stop and save/restore state latencies are more or
less properties of the hardware.
In legacy code, they're specified from platform code.
On DT platforms, their values should come from DT.

Should these properties be called "linux,*-latency"?

Hmm, the start/stop latencies are clearly properties of the hardware,
but the save/restore latencies seem to be a function of the driver.
e.g., some drivers may keep a shadow copy of their registers in memory
so the save time is minimized.

I don't have too strong of an opinion on this, but probably the drivers
should just add their own values to the start/stop latencies to add the
linux specific overhead.

Thanks. I agree with you on this, so I'll remove the save/restore latencies.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
