PM / Suspend: Add .suspend_again() callback to suspend_ops
A system or a device may need to control suspend/wakeup events. It may want to wakeup the system after a predefined amount of time or at a predefined event decided while entering suspend for polling or delayed work. Then, it may want to enter suspend again if its predefined wakeup condition is the only wakeup reason and there is no outstanding events; thus, it does not wakeup the userspace unnecessary or unnecessary devices and keeps suspended as long as possible (saving the power). Enabling a system to wakeup after a specified time can be easily achieved by using RTC. However, to enter suspend again immediately without invoking userland and unrelated devices, we need additional features in the suspend framework. Such need comes from: 1. Monitoring a critical device status without interrupts that can wakeup the system. (in-suspend polling) An example is ambient temperature monitoring that needs to shut down the system or a specific device function if it is too hot or cold. The temperature of a specific device may be needed to be monitored as well; e.g., a charger monitors battery temperature in order to stop charging if overheated. 2. Execute critical "delayed work" at suspend. A driver or a system/board may have a delayed work (or any similar things) that it wants to execute at the requested time. For example, some chargers want to check the battery voltage some time (e.g., 30 seconds) after the battery is fully charged and the charger has stopped. Then, the charger restarts charging if the voltage has dropped more than a threshold, which is smaller than "restart-charger" voltage, which is a threshold to restart charging regardless of the time passed. This patch allows to add "suspend_again" callback at struct platform_suspend_ops and let the "suspend_again" callback return true if the system is required to enter suspend again after the current instance of wakeup. Device-wise suspend_again implemented at dev_pm_ops or syscore is not done because: a) suspend_again feature is usually under platform-wise decision and controls the behavior of the whole platform and b) There are very limited devices related to the usage cases of suspend_again; chargers and temperature sensors are mentioned so far. With suspend_again callback registered at struct platform_suspend_ops suspend_ops in kernel/power/suspend.c with suspend_set_ops by the platform, the suspend framework tries to enter suspend again by looping suspend_enter() if suspend_again has returned true and there has been no errors in the suspending sequence or pending wakeups (by pm_wakeup_pending). Tested at Exynos4-NURI.
