Thanks, here's a re-spin with your signoff and fixing the issues you
raised.

Applies to v2.6.36-rc1.

Subject: [PATCH] driver core: platform_bus: allow runtime override of dev_pm_ops

Currently, the platform_bus allows customization of several of the
busses dev_pm_ops methods by using weak symbols so that platform code
can override them.  The weak-symbol approach is not scalable when
wanting to support multiple platforms in a single kernel binary.

Instead, provide __init methods for platform code to customize the
dev_pm_ops methods at runtime.

NOTE: after these dynamic methods are merged, the weak symbols should
      be removed from drivers/base/platform.c.  AFAIK, this will only
      affect SH and sh-mobile which should be converted to use this
      runtime approach instead of the weak symbols.  After SH &
      sh-mobile are converted, the weak symobols could be removed.

Tested on OMAP3.
