The dwapb_context structure is always embedded into struct
dwapb_gpio_port to simplify code. Sure this brings a tiny 36 bytes
data overhead for !CONFIG_PM_SLEP.  

I don't think it's a good approach to add a lot of data for peanuts in
case of PM_SLEEP=n.

It wastes 36 bytes in case of PM=n.

The driver currently allocates the struct with kzalloc and stores a pointer to it
in case of PM=y.
So this probably has an overhead in the same order of magnitude (pointer +
malloc overhead/alignment/fragmentation) in case of PM=y now.
