PM / QoS: Introcuce latency tolerance device PM QoS type
Add a new latency tolerance device PM QoS type to be use for specifying active state (RPM_ACTIVE) memory access (DMA) latency tolerance requirements for devices. It may be used to prevent hardware from choosing overly aggressive energy-saving operation modes (causing too much latency to appear) for the whole platform. This feature reqiures hardware support, so it only will be available for devices having a new .set_latency_tolerance() callback in struct dev_pm_info populated, in which case the routine pointed to by it should implement whatever is necessary to transfer the effective requirement value to the hardware. Whenever the effective latency tolerance changes for the device, its .set_latency_tolerance() callback will be executed and the effective value will be passed to it. If that value is negative, which means that the list of latency tolerance requirements for the device is empty, the callback is expected to switch the underlying hardwar...
