coresight: Register CPU PM notifier in core layer

Browse source

The current implementation only saves and restores the context for ETM
sources while ignoring the context of links.  However, if funnels or
replicators on a linked path resides in a CPU or cluster power domain,
the hardware context for the link will be lost after resuming from low
power states.

To support context management for links during CPU low power modes, a
better way is to implement CPU PM callbacks in the Arm CoreSight core
layer.  As the core layer has sufficient information for linked paths,
from tracers to links, which can be used for power management.

As a first step, this patch registers CPU PM notifier in the core layer.
If a source device provides callbacks for saving and restoring context,
these callbacks will be invoked in CPU suspend and resume.
