    iio: mma8452: use runtime pm instead of device specific autosleep · bce59b60

    What is this autosleep?
    -----------------------
    It slows down the device after x seconds of inactivity. The thing is, we have
    really achieved almost the same by runtime pm.
    
    differnces are:
    
    autosleep
     * uses more power during inactivity
     * the first read after inactivity slightly faster
     * complicated to understand for the user
     * no documented sysfs interface (afaik)
     * complicated to read and maintain
    
    runtime pm
     * already merged in mma8452
     * uses less power during inactivity
     * first read after inactivity slower
     * easy to use. well documented.
     * easy to maintain and understand
    
    The two approaches solve the same problem. runtime pm has more advantages
    than autosleep and comes quite close to it's behaviour anyways. As I see it,
    autosleep, even if somehow supported, would never be used anyways.
    
    So resolve this issue by "ignoring" autosleep.
