The platform PM driver was created to support PM on systems without a
runtime PM firmware.   Even with PSCI firmware on later systems, there
is no standard interface to communicate the wakeup source information
directly from peripheral drivers to the PSCI firmware.  So we still
need this platform power management driver in kernel to deal with this
setup for non-ACPI scenarios.  From the code re-use perspective, I
think it is probably better to keep this generic implementation in
kernel instead of moving it to ACPI byte-code for each platform.
