Can we change to sunxi_ths_ prefix?

In fact, enalbe and disable are the suspend and resume functions.(PM
callback will be added in the future)
When exiting from s2ram, the register will become the initial value.
We need to do all the work, enabling reset/clk ,calibrating and
initializing other reg.

So I think it is no need to put enabling reset/clk and calibrating to
probe func, and I'd like
to keep enable and disable func.
