Some devices may have a predictable interrupt pattern while executing usecases. An example would be the VSYNC interrupt associated with display devices. A 60 Hz display could cause a interrupt every 16 ms. If the device were in a PM domain, the domain would need to be powered up for device to resume and handle the interrupt. Entering a domain idle state saves power, only if the residency of the idle state is met. Without knowing the idle duration of the domain, the governor would just choose the deepest idle state that matches the QoS requirements. The domain might be powered off just as the device is expecting to wake up. If devices could inform PM frameworks of their next event, the parent PM domain's idle duration can be determined. So let's add the dev_pm_genpd_set_next_wakeup() API for the device to inform PM domains of the impending wakeup. This information will be the domain governor to determine the best idle state given the wakeup.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
