This is always the case. The component device always probes before the
aggregate device because the component device registers with the
component framework. But the component device can decide to enable
runtime PM during driver probe or during component bind.

Got it.

What resource comes from the aggregate device that the component device
manages in runtime PM?

This sounds more correct to me. I'm not an expert on runtime PM though
as I always have to read the code to remember how it works. if the
device isn't ready for runtime PM until the component bind function is
called then runtime PM shouldn't be enabled on the component device.
