A subsystem/driver that need to manage OPPs for its device, should
typically drop its vote for the OPP when the device becomes runtime
suspended. In this way, the corresponding aggregation of the performance
state votes that is managed in genpd for the attached PM domain, may find
that the aggregated vote can be decreased. Hence, it may allow genpd to set
the lower performance state for the PM domain, thus avoiding to waste
energy.

To accomplish this, typically a subsystem/driver would need to call
dev_pm_opp_set_rate|opp() for its device from its ->runtime_suspend()
callback, to drop the vote for the OPP. Accordingly, it needs another call
to dev_pm_opp_set_rate|opp() to restore the vote for the OPP from its
->runtime_resume() callback.

To avoid boilerplate code in subsystems/driver to deal with these things,
let's instead manage this internally in genpd.

Changes in v2:
      - Rebased.
      - A few minor cosmetic changes.
      - Deal with the error path in genpd_runtime_resume().

What about passing the state pointer here? that will simplify the
callers to just a call.
Not sure I get that. Can you elaborate a bit more?

I will skip this check, as we are checking it in
genpd_set_performance_state() anyway ?
I don't want us to override OPP votes made by the subsystem/driver
level runtime PM callbacks. For example, if the drivers manage this
thing themselves, that should be preserved.

That said, by the check above I want to avoid setting the state to
zero internally by genpd, if the driver level ->runtime_resume()
callback has already restored the state.

So this will become:

        genpd_drop_performance_state(dev, &gpd_data->rpm_pstate);

and it can have return type of void.
See more above, about the reason why it looks like this. Hopefully
that explains it.
