PSCI uses suspend_set_ops instead. And suspend_set_ops has been
exported years ago.

Suspend-to_Idle(S2I) is another suspend method supported by linux
kernel. The corresponding s2idle_ops can be hooked by s2idle_set_ops
by underlying platforms.  For example, S2I is now introduced into
Mediatek SoC platforms. Besides, power management driver is built as
kernel module.

Mobile platforms are now call for kernel drivers to be kernel modules.
This could help drivers easier to migrate to newer linux kernel.
