I don't quite like the structure by which the type arg is passed through the
entire call chain until the switch in dep_pm_qos_raw_read_value().

There is only one direct user of dev_pm_qos_raw_read_value() AFAICS which
is cpuidle. It shouldn't need to suffer the general case overhead, so I would
rename that function to dev_pm_qos_raw_resume_latency() and update cpuidle
accordingly.

Moreover, the callers of __dev_pm_qos_read_value() are interested in the
resume latency value too, so it might make sense to rename this as
__dev_pm_qos_resume_latency(), update its callers and put the switch
into dev_pm_qos_read_value().

Plus the changelog should explain the broader rationale of this change like
for the first patch IMO.
