Add a new interface get_pm_transition() to return pm_transition state.
This interface is intended to be used from dev_pm_ops class and type
suspend interfaces that call legacy pm ops driver suspend interfaces.
Legacy suspend pm_ops take pm_message_t as a parameter.

e.g: drm_class_suspend() calls into driver suspend routines
via drm_dev->driver->suspend(drm_dev, state).

Once drm_class_suspend() is converted to dev_pm_ops, it will no longer
have access to pm_transition which it has to pass into driver legacy
suspend calls. get_pm_transition() interface addresses this need.

Yes that is correct that there is no need pass in or know pm_transition 
with dev_pm_ops. The issue I am running into is the legacy pm_ops class 
suspend/resume routines call. In the example, I mentioned in my 
changelog, drm_class_suspend() calls legacy pm_ops and passes in state. 
It passes in the state to the driver legacy suspend routine. I have seen 
code paths in drivers that differentiate between PM_EVENT_FREEZE, 
PM_EVENT_SUSPEND, PM_EVENT_SLEEP etc.

I considered passing PM_EVENT_SUSPEND to 
drm_dev->driver->suspend(drm_dev, state) from drm_class_suspend() which 
would eliminate the need for this new interface. However, I am concerned 
about breaking driver legacy suspend routines that key of off the state 
to execute different code paths for PM_EVENT_FREEZE vs. 
PM_EVENT_SUSPEND. Suspend routines get called when state is is 
PM_EVENT_FREEZE based on my testing.

I would rather not add a new interface. Hoping you will have another 
idea on how to pass in the state to legacy suspend/resume without adding 
this new interface. My thinking is that this new interface is temporary 
measure until all of the legacy suspend routines get converted to 
dev_pm_ops and at the tile legacy interface gets removed, this new 
interface can go away as well.

thanks,

There are multiple bus types with legacy callbacks.  PCI and platform for
two examples and USB does something similar.  Please have a look at these.

Thanks,
