I gave it an unfortunately unsuccessful try. The problem I ran into is that
device_prepare() calls pm_runtime_get_noresume() calls
pm_runtime_get_noresume(), with the corresponding pm_runtime_put() call being
performed in device_complete(). The device power usage_count is thus always
non-zero in the system resume handler, so I can't base the decision on that.

I also noticed that pm_genpd_prepare() runtime-resumes the device (when the
power domain is in the GPD_STATE_ACTIVE state). I don't know why that is, but
it means that in practice my device gets runtime-resumed when suspending the
system while it could stay runtime-suspended in practice.
