[RFC][PATCH][EXPERIMENTAL] PM: Use platform_device for registering timekeeping suspend and resume callbacks

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>]

Hi,

The experimental patch below replaces sys_device, used by the timekeeping code
to register the suspend and resume callbacks, with a platform device.

For me, personally, the main motivation for doing such a thing is that I'm working
on a hibernation framework separate from the suspend framework that we have
right now and I wouldn't like to have to deal with the sysdevs in it.

Apart from this, IIRC, in one of the recent discussions on linux-pm everyone
seemed to agree that it would be desirable to get rid of sysdevs.

Anyway, please let me know if the approach used in the patch is correct, as I'd
like to make some more similar changes shortly.

Greetings,
Rafael
