But what's the drawback of using pm_runtime_get_if_active() in all cases
(for camera sensor drivers) ? The semantics in the .s_ctrl() handler is
"I want to proceed only if the device is powered on", and that's exactly
what pm_runtime_get_if_active() gives us. The semantics of using
pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() is "I want to proceed if someone else is
holding a reference". It happens to give the same practical result as
pm_runtime_get_if_active() when not using autosuspend, but it's still
not the right semantics.
