I admit the runtime_pm intrinsics are obscure to me, but Laurent just
made me notice something.

Consider the following scenario

*) Kernel compiled with CONFIG_PM
*) i2c sensor driver that supports both CONFIG_PM and !CONFIG_PM by:
  *) Manually power up the sensor during probe
  *) Call pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_set_active() at the end
     of the probe routine after having accessed the chip over i2c
     (like most, if not all the i2c drivers in mainline do including
     ccs)

All these drivers work, and during the probe routine before accessing
the HW, they don't need to power up the parent i2c controller.

Might it be that during probe() the parent is guaranteed to be enabled ?

I add a look in the driver-core and pm Documentation/ but found
nothing.

A quick stroll in driver/base/ got me to __device_attach() and it
seems parents are powered up before attaching a driver to a device
(which in my understanding should be what ends up calling probe()).
Clearly I've no real understanding of what I'm talking about when it
comes to driver-core, so take this with a grain of salt.

Also, this IP is RPi specific, and the !CONFIG_PM case is not used or
tested on Pi.

However, I think this current patch is correct (assuming the above
reasoning on i2c sensor drivers is correct) and doesn't require
CONFIG_PM, so I would be tempted to keep this version.
