Actually, I think we shouldn't give up hope here.  Currently, we do this:

                pm_runtime_get_noresume(dev);
                pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
                pm_runtime_enable(dev);

                ret = pcdrv->probe(pcdev, id);

What we could do is:

		pm_runtime_get_noresume(dev);
                pm_runtime_get_noresume(dev);
                pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
                pm_runtime_enable(dev);

                ret = pcdrv->probe(pcdev, id);
		if (ret == 0) {
			pcdev->irq_safe = pm_runtime_is_irq_safe(dev);
			pm_runtime_put(dev);
			break;
		}

                pm_runtime_disable(dev);
                pm_runtime_set_suspended(dev);
                pm_runtime_put_noidle(dev);
                pm_runtime_put_noidle(dev);

which would ensure that we hold a usecount until after the probe function
has returned.  Would that work?

I'll give you that it's pretty horrid.

Would another possible solution be to remember the irq-safeness in the
suspend handler, and use that in the resume handler?  Resume should
/always/ undo what the suspend handler previously did wrt clk API stuff.
