Chipidea depends on some hardware signals to be there in order
for runtime-pm to work well. Add the possibility to disable runtime
power management that is necessary for certain boards.

This is why we have SoC specific compatible strings. Use that.

It is a board design limitation, not SoC's. To support USB low power
mode for device mode, either VBUS connects to SoC, or VBUS connect to
GPIO, or VBUS connect to Type-C IC, but none of the design is used
at that board. So the USB can't enter low power mode for that board,
otherwise, the USB controller can't be woken up since no any interrupts
will occur if USB cable (host at other side) connects to the connector.
