Hi Rafael,

Thank you for the review.

Sounds good.

Well.. that was the purpose. It could be used at other times, too, I guess,
but most of the time runtime PM is the right interface for doing that.

Agreed, I'll use the text you provided below.

Ok.

How about putting it to the DSD ReST property documentation, perhaps with a
little bit more context? I can add another patch for that.

Works for me.

Yes, makes sense.

I'll switch to dev_dbg() then --- as we have the device.
