USB: prepare for changover to Runtime PM framework
This patch (as1303) revises the USB Power Management infrastructure to
make it compatible with the new driver-model Runtime PM framework:
Drivers are no longer allowed to access intf->pm_usage_cnt
directly; the PM framework manages its own usage counters.
usb_autopm_set_interface() is eliminated, because it directly
sets intf->pm_usage_cnt.
usb_autopm_enable() and usb_autopm_disable() are eliminated,
because they call usb_autopm_set_interface().
usb_autopm_get_interface_no_resume() and
usb_autopm_put_interface_no_suspend() are added. They
correspond to pm_runtime_get_noresume() and
pm_runtime_put_noidle() in the PM framework.
The power/level attribute no longer accepts "suspend", only
"on" and "auto". The PM framework doesn't allow devices to be
forced into a suspended mode.
The hub driver contains the only code that violates the new
guidelines. It is updated to use the new interface routines instead.
