I think there is definitely a need for QoS parameters per-device. I've
been pondering how to incorporate this concept into runtime_pm. One
idea would be to add pm_qos-like callbacks to struct dev_pm_ops, e.g.
runtime_pm_qos_add/update/remove_requirement(). Requirements would be
passed up the tree to the first parent that cares, usually a bus driver.
Is this similar to what you guys were discussing at the collab summit?
Thanks.
