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.
