 to enable runtime PM

Hi,

If the touchscreen controller driver(s) are using serdev they are
children of the dw-apb-uart.4:0.0 and can use runtime PM calls to
block the parent device from idling as necessary. The hierarchy
unless changed using ignore_children.

Then when the children are done, seem like dw-apb-uart driver should
use force_suspend and force_resume calls in the system suspend path.

Do you have some mainline kernel test case available or is this
still out of tree code?

Regards,

Tony
