Basically, the PM core calls pm_runtime_idle() when it thinks the 
driver might want to suspend the device.  For example, after 
pm_runtime_put() runs, the core would call pm_runtime_idle() if the 
usage counter has dropped to 0.

pm_runtime_idle() is optional; if the callback doesn't exist then the 
PM core will call pm_runtime_suspend().
