Given that we needed to employ runtime PM for OMAP, adding the handlers
is a natural progression and fits more with the PM framework model.

I had done this initially when testing on OMAP platforms that do and
don't require runtime PM for PMU. I don't see any side affect of this,
however, may be Kevin could comment on if that is ok. It would be the
best approach.
