I've been thinking more about this, and I can't help but wonder whether
we could significantly simplify it. Why not just do this:

1. Update rust/kernel/platform.rs Driver trait to include pm ops
directly in the trait:

	#[vtable]
	pub trait Driver {
	    type IdInfo: 'static;
	    type Data<'bound>: Send + 'bound;
	    const OF_ID_TABLE: Option<of::IdTable<Self::IdInfo>> = None;
	    const ACPI_ID_TABLE: Option<acpi::IdTable<Self::IdInfo>> = None;
	
	    fn probe<'bound>(
	        dev: &'bound Device<device::Core<'_>>,
	        id_info: Option<&'bound Self::IdInfo>,
	    ) -> impl PinInit<Self::Data<'bound>, Error> + 'bound;
	
	    fn unbind<'bound>(dev: &'bound Device<device::Core<'_>>, this: Pin<&Self::Data<'bound>>) {
	        let _ = (dev, this);
	    }
	
	    // Add these methods.
	    fn runtime_suspend<'bound>(
	        dev: &'bound Device<device::Bound>,
	        data: &Self::Data<'bound>,
	    ) -> Result
	    {
	        build_error!(VTABLE_DEFAULT_ERROR)
	    }
	
	    fn runtime_resume<'bound>(
	        dev: &'bound Device<device::Bound>,
	        data: &Self::Data<'bound>,
	    ) -> Result
	    {
	        build_error!(VTABLE_DEFAULT_ERROR)
	    }
	}

By marking the trait with #[vtable], we know whether the user has
overridden runtime_suspend() and runtime_resume() and then the platform
abstraction can enable PM in that scenario:

 - If `T::HAS_RUNTIME_SUSPEND && T::HAS_RUNTIME_RESUME` then set
   `(*pdrv.get()).driver.pm` to a table using those methods in
   register().
 - If `T::HAS_RUNTIME_SUSPEND && T::HAS_RUNTIME_RESUME` then invoke
   `pm_runtime_enable()` from `probe_callback()` after the
   `set_callback()` line. Note that this call is infallible.
 - Do the same from unplug to disable PM.

And then you automatically PM whenever you implement those two methods
in the `platform::Driver` trait, and that's all you need to do. Since we
invoke `pm_runtime_enable()` in `probe_callback()` after setting the
private data, there's no issue with passing the device private data to
the callbacks.

Note that we can trigger a const eval panic on `T::HAS_RUNTIME_SUSPEND
!= T::HAS_RUNTIME_RESUME` to enforce that you must implement both
methods if you implement either one.

Thoughts? I know we have gone down this route before, but I just think
it would be so so much simpler than the current approach. I know that
this diverges from IRQ and such by not having a Registration, but I
actually think that's ok. PM is already different from IRQ callbacks in
the sense that the platform abstractions need PM-specific code *anyway*
to properly set pm_ops in the `struct platform_device`.
