[RFC] intel-lpss: remove .prepare() callback

[Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>]

The .prepare() callback of intel-lpss driver does nothing but wakes up its
children. I don't know if there is any reason to do so, but to me, this is
not preferred because it should be the child device driver to do so when
necessary, not the parent device driver.
Plus, .prepare() does not support asynchronization.

For example, on MS Surface Pro 4, there are 4 intel-lpss devices which
are runtime suspended before system suspend, resuming each of them takes
more than 100 milliseconds. Thus the .prepare() of intel-lpss driver takes
400ms+ on my surface pro 4, and I've seen platforms with 16 intel lpss
devices.

With this patch applied, the child devices are resumed in the .suspend()
stage of the child device, and they are done in parallel, thus only 100ms
is needed, no matter how many intel lpss devices there are.

I have tested it on three different platforms and didn't find any obvious
problem caused by this patch, and it indeed reduces the suspend time a lot.
