Personally, if you are going with extending the API then I think it
becomes neater to pass a structure which can ususally be static const, eg

static const struct pmf_if ubt_pmf = {
	.pmf_suspend = ubt_suspend,
	.pmf_resume = ubt_resume,
	.pmf_snooze = ubt_snooze,
	.pmf_powernap = ubt_powernap,
	.pmf_remsleep = ubt_remsleep,
};

and

	pmf_device_register(&ubt_pmf, self);

and it makes it easier to extend later without rototilling or macro magic?
