That's true - but that's not a big issue I believe. I think the below
problems are worse. :-)

1) You don't disable runtime PM, thus not preventing the runtime PM
callbacks from being invoked.
2) You don't update the runtime PM status, thus not reflecting the
actual state of the device.

Both the above may cause unbalanced clk_enable|disable calls.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly think the "don't do runtime PM resume
during system PM resume" is interesting to solve. But that it's a
common problem and should be supported by the runtime PM API somehow
instead. I have been thinking of extending the
pm_runtime_force_resume() API to support this, let's see when that
happens. :-)

Ohh, you are right! No need to add it!

The "no_idle" version will prevent the device from going inactive,
unless a new cycle of pm_runtime_get() to pm_runtime_put() happens,
which there are no guarantees of.

Kind regards
