Yes, that works nicely, thanks Dmitry.
By the way, my memory's been jogged by "rmi4" and the discussion above:
I had a similar-ish problem with it a year ago, discussed with PM guys,
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/alpine.LSU.2.11.2101102010200.25762@eggly.anvils/
I'm not saying you have to read through that thread, but you may find
some relevance in it - Saravana concluded rmi4 driver isn't capturing
parent/child relationship correctly (at that time, anyway).
