This isn't really "instead of", but rather "in addition to".

That is a valid concern, but then your approach with using an extra flag
just for the ACPI PM domain isn't particularly straightforward either IMO.

OK, but this applies to your series as well, as it is adding a new flag too,
just not in the core. :-)

That still requires the new flag to be set if the ACPI PM is in use AFAICS,
which then will prevent the entire hierarchy above the device from having
direct_complete set.

OK

The idea, though, is not to make it instead of, but in addition to the
runtime PM centric path.
So a driver using the runtime PM centric (or rather runtime PM aware)
callbacks can set power.force_suspend and benefit from having direct_complete
set conditional on whether or not the device is runtime resumed before the
late suspend.
If device_complete remains set in __device_suspend_late(), no system
suspend/resume callbacks will be invoked from that point on. If it isn't
set, pm_runtime_force_suspend() should work just fine and then
pm_runtime_force_resume() should do the right thing on the way back.
All boils down to (a) setting a flag and (b) using the right callbacks
for system suspend which is the case with your patches either.

Well, I guess that depends on what is there in its resume callbacks.

It surely can, it's just software. :-) The question is how complicated that
is going to be in the end, however.
So the patch I sent didn't address the dependency issue, but it allows the
core to deal with the issue which is a core issue, not an ACPI PM domain
issue, because the core disables runtime PM for devices with direct_complete
set, not the ACPI PM domain or PCI etc.
[BTW, it is not entirely clear to me why it ever is necessary to runtime resume
a device with direct_complete set after __device_suspend(), because it can only
have direct_complete set at that point if all of the hierarchy below it has
this flag set too and so runtime PM has to be disabled for all of those
devices as well.]
It can be made slightly better by adding a piece to avoid clearing the
parent's direct_complete if it had the new flag set, so below is a new
version (with the new flag renamed to safe_suspend which seemed better to
me).
Of course, having safe_suspend set will still cause the parent's
direct_complete to be cleared unless the parent has safe_suspend set too,
but that's better than not allowing the parent to use direct_complete at all.
