No, after _get_noresume(), nothing happens to the hardware. It simply increments the usecount. From pm_runtime.h: static inline void pm_runtime_get_noresume(struct device *dev) { atomic_inc(&dev->power.usage_count); } So after the _get_noresume() and _set_active() you're very likely to have a disconnect between the hardware state and what state RPM thinks the hardware is in.
