As talked about in the patch ("drm/panel: Add a way for other devices
to follow panel state"), we really want to keep the power states of a
touchscreen and the panel it's attached to in sync with each other. In
that spirit, add support to i2c-hid to be a panel follower. This will
let the i2c-hid driver get informed when the panel is powered on and
off. From there we can match the i2c-hid device's power state to that
of the panel.
NOTE: this patch specifically _doesn't_ use pm_runtime to keep track
of / manage the power state of the i2c-hid device, even though my
first instinct said that would be the way to go. Specific problems
with using pm_runtime():
* The initial power up couldn't happen in a runtime resume function
since it create sub-devices and, apparently, that's not good to do
in your resume function.
* Managing our power state with pm_runtime meant fighting to make the
right thing happen at system suspend to prevent the system from
trying to resume us only to suspend us again. While this might be
able to be solved, it added complexity.
Overall the code without pm_runtime() ended up being smaller and
easier to understand.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
