Another common case is when device X depends on device Y in it's ->prepare or ->suspend path (e.g. need to write to an I2C connected GPIO/PMIC) in which case, device Y (and the I2C bus) would be runtime resumed during device X's ->prepare or ->suspend path, and possibly after device Y (or the I2C busses) ->prepare and ->suspend.
