Chipidea depends on some hardware signals to be there in order
for runtime-pm to work well. Add the possibility to disable runtime
power management that is necessary for certain boards.

I think this description is too vague.

Could you please provide more details so that a user can know if their
hardware falls into this category?

It is not clear from seeing this series what is the hardware details
that would require this property to be used.

Hi Fabio, Peter,

I tried to keep the description for this patch somewhat general. But as
Peter suggested I will add Toradex's use-case for this.

The problem with Colibri iMX6ULL is that we are stuck with a legacy
module standard that does only include one USB host/device switching
signal. Plus on that specific module we have no 5V available hence left
the connection of VBUS signal away.
This works normally pretty well but for our "dual-role OTG" port I could
not make it work with runtime-pm running and proper extcon
configuration. The problem was, when plugging in something in device or
host mode gets not enumerated and detected.

That are the reasons why I believe the PHY or something else in Chipidea
needs a signal that it does not have on that module that would wake the
whole thing from runtime-suspend.

I will think about a better description and send a v2

Thanks
Philippe
