I was just taking a quick look at your report about this and also
noticed this return statement.

The runtime PM implementation is a bit of mess as we've discussed
elsewhere, but the change you propose here doesn't look right.

start_tx() can be deferred in the rs485 case, but that doesn't mean you
should suspend the device here. In fact, that look like it would just
break runtime PM (the parts that may work to some extent).
