Well, that would be pm_qos_runtime_wakeup_latency_us.  Kind of long, IMHO.
Apart from this "wakeup" may be thought to refer to "remote wakeup", which
is when a device is resumed as a result of an external signal.

pm_qos_resume_latency_us is shorter and since it is referred to in the
documentation as "resume latency", I don't see any problems with that name.

Thanks,
