[PATCH v3 1/1][Resend] misc: sram: add dev_pm_ops to support module power gate

[Shenwei Wang]

When system goes into low power states like SUSPEND_MEM and
HIBERNATION, the hardware IP block may be powered off to reduce
the power consumption. This power down will lost all the
data inside the ram. This patch added the dev_pm_ops and
implemented two callbacks: suspend_noirq and resume_noirq, which
will save the data in the on-chip-ram right before power down
and restore it after system resumes.

A new property string named "can-power-gate" is added to
the devicetree bindings too.

As I objected in the original thread[1], I am just iterating myself here
again. IMO this is unnecessary and can be avoided. It's also not
scalable for large SRAM. I *still can't understand* what's the use-case
where you need to save/restore the entire SRAM content.

I see it's mostly used for audio/video and some crypto use-case(in the
mainline). In most of those cases, when you enter S2R, all the devices
*needs to be in quiescent state* which implies they no longer use SRAM.
So can you please care to provide your reasons for this save/restore ?

On some platforms, it's used for PM in which case it needs to be always on.

Sudeep
