I seem to remeber having a problem with the pm_runtime_put_sync() after
drv->remove(dev) ...

So the code in question was introduced by

commit e1866b33b1e89f077b7132daae3dfd9a594e9a1a
Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Apr 29 00:33:45 2011 +0200

    PM / Runtime: Rework runtime PM handling during driver removal

with a long changelog explaining the reason why.  Which seems to make sense. ;-)

So I'm not sure.

Rafael
