You are mixing up generic concepts with what we have in omapdss.
Believe me, I do understand it's bad to proceed without caring for
returned _errors_.
The way omapdss is organized -EACCESS is _not_ an  error, it just
denotes PM is disabled on the device and that DISPC is in RPM_ACTIVE
is backed by the fact that HDMI always hold a reference between
resume-suspend and DISPC goes to suspend last and resume first.
