Subject: [RFC v2 2/5] PM, Add sysfs file power_off to control device power off policy

From: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@...el.com>

Some devices can be powered off to save more power via some platform
mechanism, e.g., ACPI.  But that may not work as expected for some
device or platform.  So, this patch adds a sysfs file named power_off
under <device>/power directory to provide a mechanism for user to control
whether to allow the device to be power off.

power_off => "enabled" means allowing the device to be powered off if
possible.

power_off => "disabled" means the device must be power on anytime.

Also add flag power_off_user to struct dev_pm_info to record users'
choice. The bus layer can use this field to determine whether to
power off the device.
