During a normal successful hibernate sequence devices will go through
the freeze() callbacks create an image, go through the thaw() callbacks,
and poweroff() callbacks.

During a successful hibernate sequence some device drivers may want to
skip the thaw() callbacks.  This confuses the PM core though because it
thinks the device is no longer suspended.

To accommodate drivers that want to do this, introduce a new is_frozen
bit that the driver can set and manage.  From the driver perspective
any thaw() or restore() callbacks that are being skipped should set
is_frozen and return an error code.  The PM core will then put the
device back into the list of devices to resume for any aborted hibernate.

+Skipping thaw phase
+-------------------
+In some rare situations, it may be desirable to skip the thaw phases
+(``thaw_noirq``, ``thaw_early``, ``thaw``) of a device entirely.  This can be
+achieved by a device driver returning an error code from any of it's thaw
+callbacks but also setting dev->power.is_frozen to true.  This indicates to the
+PM core that the device is still in the frozen state.  The PM core will 
consider
+this when resuming the device in later phases such as `restore` or `poweroff`.
