Yes.

I'm also wondering how we could ever get here with dev->driver == NULL.
If that were actually possible, the above would at best be racy.  It
also really seems like there ought to be a better test than the
driver->pm pointer to check if runtime pm is enabled, but I haven't
spotted it yet.

Yeah, though I'd welcome other thoughts here.  I don't necessarily like
the idea of squashing the errno, but at the same time, if
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() returns -EINVAL on user ioctl, that's not
really describing an invalid parameter relative to the ioctl itself.
Thanks,
