I removed just the interfaces related to sleep pm not runtime pm. From
long ago, Linux DRM drivers - especially ARM DRM drivers - have been
stepping forward to a integrated DRM driver so it'd be reasonable for
sleep pm operations of all KMS drivers are controlled by top of DRM
driver. It means that Exynos drm driver has already sleep pm interfaces.

However, I think a power domain of each kms device couldn't be
controlled by the top in case of ARM SoC because kms devices can use a
different power domain each other according to Vendor SoC so runtime pm
should be controlled by each kms driver, which will be triggered by DRM top.

And Gustavo's patch set you mentioned - now being reviewed - will add
only runtime pm interfaces to each kms driver.

Thanks,
Inki Dae
