This is about the function listed above: apds9802als_resume(). It
should call apds9802als_runtime_resume() directly. I don't see any
reason why you would want it to call apds9802als_runtime_suspend() --
having a resume function that actually suspends the device doesn't make
any sense.

Why do you want apds9802als_resume() to put the device into a suspended
state? Shouldn't it _resume_ the device?

No. Try doing what I said. You should find that the device _does_ get
runtime-suspended when the probe function returns. Assuming you have
defined a proper apds9802als_runtime_idle() function.
