Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] PM: runtime: Clarify documentation when callbacks are unassigned
Recent changes to the PM core allows ->runtime_suspend|resume callbacks to
be unassigned.
In the earlier behaviour the PM core would return -ENOSYS, when trying to
runtime resume a device, for example. Let's update the documentation to
clarify this.
