I would see target-module = i2c master.

Well, if there is a variant of the i2c device which does not require
external clocks and a variant which requires it, then clock can be
optional.

Well, runtime PM is just the linux-specific mechanism to enable the
resources needed by the parent, so yes, it is not related... As said,
another OS can have another mechanism.

But anyways, the target module specifies resources which are required.
