This is really looking very good.  I'll do a more detailed review
later.  (In particular, I have not checked the details of the rather
intricate state machine transitions.)  For now, a couple of things 
struck my eye:

Shouldn't the calls to complete() really be complete_all()?  There
might be more than one thread waiting for a suspend or resume callback
to finish.

Since pm_runtime_resume() takes care of powering up the parent, there's 
no need for pm_request_resume() to worry about it also.

The documentation should mention that the runtime_suspend method is 
supposed to enable remote wakeup if it as available and if 
device_may_wakeup(dev) is true.
