Good catch, thanks!

Hmm. Perhaps we can do something along the lines of our .probe() handling.
Namely, call
pm_runtime_disable(dev);
pm_runtime_get_noresume(dev);
pm_runtime_enable(dev);
before and
pm_runtime_put_noidle()
after? Then, if the driver's or bus type's .remove() needs to resume, it will
be able to do that right away and if it wants to suspend, it can always call
pm_runtime_put*(), because our pm_runtime_put_noidle() won't decrease the
usage counter below zero.
At the same time we can avoid "leftover" suspends that could interfere with
.remove() in case it needs to access the hardware.
Best,
Rafael
