how will this ever work with DT ? I say we get rid of the OMAP-specific
API and build this "context lost" status directly on dev_pm_info and
have something like pm_runtime_lost_context() or something with pm QoS
tell you if a device has lost its context.

Also, your commit log doesn't really state any problems you might have
reached before, or any improvements wrt latency coming out of suspend
and so on.

IMHO, drivers need a generic way to differentiate if they're resuming
from OFF or RET, otherwise we will end up with a bunch of OMAP-specific
hackery on all drivers
