Yes, but the bus driver will then call the power management core.

When ACPI is available, yes.

The device driver may call back into the bus driver, and that may in
turn trigger an ACPI call. PCI is the best example of this - check out
the pci_platform_pm_ops structure in pci-acpi.c for example.

For runtime power management? No.
