PM: runtime: Clarify documentation when callbacks are unassigned
Recent changes to the PM core allows ->runtime_suspend|resume callbacks to be unassigned. In the earlier behaviour the PM core would return -ENOSYS, when trying to runtime resume a device, for example. Let's update the documentation to clarify this.

Note that, in some cases it may not be desirable for subsystems/drivers to call

pm_runtime_no_callbacks() for their devices. This could be because a subset of

the runtime PM callbacks needs to be implemented, a platform dependent PM
|

domain could get attached to the device or that the device is power managed
|
||||
through a supplier device link. For these reasons and to avoid boilerplate code
|

in subsystems/drivers, the PM core allows runtime PM callbacks to be

unassigned. More precisely, if a callback pointer is NULL, the PM core will act

as though there was a callback and it returned 0.
