IIRC there is no PM magic happening for MMIO userspace accesses.

What you suggest above sounds like a good way to fix it. We already do
similar for config space access from userspace (if the device is in
D3cold) so definitely makes sense to do the same for MMIO. However, I
don't think we need to disable runtime PM - it should be enough to
increase the reference count (pm_runtime_get_sync() and friends) during
the time the MMIO resource is mmapped.
