I think the second solution could be more readable. The WARN_ON wouldn't
be needed. However this won't solve the two dual nature of runtime
callbacks.
I wondered also about removing runtime PM callbacks from amba/bus.c
completely and moving this to child drivers. This way runtime PM would
be obvious in each driver case.
