[PATCH v7 0/2] PCI: Enable runtime pm of the host bridge

It is a property of the runtime PM framework that it can only
follow continuous dependency chains. That is, if there is a device
with runtime PM disabled in a dependency chain, runtime PM cannot be
enabled for devices below it and above it in that chain both at the
same time.

Since runtime PM is disabled for host bridge, the state of the child
devices under the host bridge is not taken into account by PM framework
for the top level parent, PCIe controller. So PM framework, allows
the controller driver to enter runtime PM irrespective of the state
of the devices under the host bridge.

So enable runtime pm of the host bridge device, so that dependency
chain in maintained between endpoint devices and the controller driver.

PM framework expectes parent runtime pm enabled before enabling runtime
pm of the child. As PCIe starfive device is enabling runtime pm after
the pci_host_probe which enables runtime pm of the child device i.e for
the bridge device a warning is shown saying "pcie-starfive 940000000.pcie:
Enabling runtime PM for inactive device with active children" and also
shows possible circular locking dependency detected message.

As it is must to enable parent device's runtime PM before enabling child's
runtime pm as the pcie-starfive device runtime pm is enabled after child
runtime starfive device is seeing the warning.

In the first patch fix the pcie-starfive driver by enabling runtime
pm before calling pci_host_probe().

All other PCIe controller drivers are enabling runtime pm before
calling pci_host_probe() which is as expected so don't require any
fix like pcie-starfive driver.
