Can't easily move it to the core because how you actually handle it is very
much driver dependent.  A devices that has state will keep it on most of
the time, but other drivers will handle it in runtime pm if the device
starts up quickly enough.

We want this to be visible in individual drivers, even if it would be
less code perhaps in the core.
