Is there already exists a generic way for handling pm_runtime
requirements (as simple as doing a pm_runtime_enable on a device).

So the actual problem is we have ocp2scp as parent and usb2phy and
usb3phy as the child device. ocp2scp has the sysconfig register and it
can be controlled using module mode bit (both of this can be
controlled by pm_runtime). Whenever usb controller(dwc3/musb) wants to
enable a phy, it calls an exported API in usb2/usb3 phy to enable it.
These API's have pm_runtime_get_sync on usb2/usb3 device which in-turn
calls pm_runtime_get_sync of ocp2scp because of parent->child
relationship (For this both usb2/usb3 phy and ocp2scp devices should
have called pm_runtime_enable). All I'm trying is to find a place to
have pm_runtime_enable for ocp2scp.

Thanks
Kishon
