[PATCH V2 03/12] PM / Domains: Add on-off notifiers

Some drivers needs to restore their context directly
when a power domain is activated. For example a driver
handling system bus settings must be able to restore
context before the bus is being used for the first time.
Other examples could be clock settings hardware blocks and
special debugging hardware blocks which should be restored
as early as possible in order to be able to debug direcly
from waking up. Typically these notifers are needed in
systems with CPU coupled power domains. The notifiers
are intended to be trigged by cpuidle driver or the
suspend ops hooks.

The drivers that needs to use these notifiers are
some special cases. Most drivers should not use this
method and instead control their context via the
pm_runtime interface.

I believe notifiers are the best solution to the problem of
restoring context early when waking up after sleep. It is
similar to what is done in /kernel/cpu_pm.c but but for a
generic power domain instead.

An alternative solution could be to try to call the drivers
runtime_resume/runtime_suspend callbacks instead via genpd
from cpuidle or suspend/resume. I do not recommend that
solution for the following reasons:

* Altered use of runtime PM. As it is today the driver itself
  controls when to runtime-suspend/runtime-resume.
* Runtime PM is disabled during late stages of suspend.
* Complicates runtime PM for a few special cases.
