I don't see where is the problem in yours example.
pm_runtime_suspended() = false while RPM is disabled. When device is
resumed, the rpm_pstate=0, so it won't change the pstate on resume.

It will also remove the need to resume device just to change the clock
rate, like I needed to do it in the PWM patch of this series.
