Maybe we can compromise. Instead of reverting that commit outright, put the get_noresume just before the suspend callback and put the put_sync just after the resume callback. The point is that some embedded systems may rely heavily on runtime PM to keep power usage low, so we shouldn't prevent it from doing its job during the entire prepare -> suspend window.
