runtime_pm is a Linux thing and driver detail.

It still needs to be documented.

If there's differing number of clocks, then I expect a compatible
string for each possible clock setup. Of course, differing number of
clocks for the same block is often an error when multiple clock inputs
are driven by the same source clock.
