Okay, then consider this proposal. I'll introduce a new pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() function which decrements the usage_count and calls rpm_suspend directly if the count drops to 0. Then interrupt handlers could use this function in place of pm_runtime_put_sync(), provided the device was irq-safe. Not only that, pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() would be available for anyone to use. It must be reasonably common for runtime_idle routines to do nothing but call pm_runtime_suspend(). The new API call would save a little overhead.
