That would return true if any of them was set and both are needed here.

Yes, it does IMO, because if you don't provide ->suspend and ->resume
callbacks, it is sufficient if runtime PM is disabled for the device
in __device_suspend_late() which happens anyway.
DPM_FLAG_AVOID_RPM is about disabling it earlier.
