it does in one condition. If context hasn't been saved before. And that
can happen in the case of wrong pm runtime status for that device.

Imagine the device is marked as suspended even though it's fully enabled
(it hasn't been suspended by hwmod due to NO_IDLE flag). In that case
your context structure is all zeroes (context has never been saved
before) then when you call pm_runtime_get_sync() on probe() your
->runtime_resume() will get called, which will restore context,
essentially undoing anything which was configured by u-boot.

Am I missing something ?

then it needs to call pm_runtime_set_active() for those devices which
have that flag set, right ?

(completely untested, didn't even try to compile, just to illustrate)
