PM / Domains: Document how PM domains are used by the PM core

The current power management documentation in Documentation/power/
either doesn't cover PM domains at all, or gives inaccurate
information about them, so update the relevant files in there to
follow the code.

+are executed by the PM core for the device's subsystem that may be either of
+the following:
+
+  1. PM domain of the device, if the device's PM domain object, dev->pm_domain,
+     is present.
+
+  2. Device type of the device, if both dev->type and dev->type->pm are present.
+
+  3. Device class of the device, if both dev->class and dev->class->pm are
+     present.
+
+  4. Bus type of the device, if both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are present.
+
+The PM core always checks which callback to use in the order given above, so the
+priority order of callbacks from high to low is: PM domain, device type, class
+and bus type.  Moreover, the high-priority one will always take precedence over
+a low-priority one.  The PM domain, bus type, device type and class callbacks
+are referred to as subsystem-level callbacks in what follows.
 
 By default, the callbacks are always invoked in process context with interrupts
 enabled.  However, subsystems can use the pm_runtime_irq_safe() helper function
