Subject: [PATCH] driver core: platform_bus: allow runtime override of dev_pm_ops

From: Kevin Hilman <[email protected]>

Currently, the platform_bus allows customization of several of the
busses dev_pm_ops methods by using weak symbols so that platform code
can override them. The weak-symbol approach is not scalable when
wanting to support multiple platforms in a single kernel binary.

Instead, provide __init methods for platform code to customize the
dev_pm_ops methods at runtime.

NOTE: after these dynamic methods are merged, the weak symbols should
be removed from drivers/base/platform.c. AFAIK, this will only
affect SH and sh-mobile which should be converted to use this
runtime approach instead of the weak symbols. After SH &
sh-mobile are converted, the weak symobols could be removed.

Tested on OMAP3.

Looks okay to me, but these functions should have kerneldoc headers describing what they are, and more importantly, the constraints and what the acceptable use case is.

Another (minor) note, these can be more concise. The set open function can have a void return, and bus = &platform_bus_type lines are unnecessary.
