It means we could have efficient power management for this driver.
as per my understanding, it controls runtime sleep and improves power efficiency

Ok, As per the original code, it just registers the SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS
with .pm = &exynos_tmu_pm
So I have made sure that suspend resume feature works correctly
 with these changes on SBC Odroid U3 and XU4.

I will try to look into setting RUNTIME_PM_OPS
or use UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS instead of SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS
any thought on this?
