OK I'll check and send a separate patch for that.

Simpler would be better :) We need to call pm_runtime_get_sync() at some
point though to enable the parent device hierarchy. Just calling the
sdhci_omap runtime functions is not enough. And we still need to check
for the valid context too. Also I'm not convinced that calling
pm_runtime_get_sync() on the parent device would do the right thing on
old omap3 devices without bigger changes.. But maybe you have some better
ideas that I'm not considering.

Tony
