This is on purpose. :-)  If active_wakeup is false, the device may signal
remote wakeup while suspended.  So, if active_wakeup is false and the device
is suspended, we have to assume that the device has been set up to signal
remote wakeup for runtime PM (if it is not suspended, attempting to resume it
will not have any effect).  Now, if device_may_wakeup() returns false in
addition to that, we may need to change the device's wakeup settings, so the
driver's callbacks should be invoked during suspend, so we're resuming the
device (we can't just leave it suspended and then invoke the driver's callbacks
in the hope they'll do the right thing).

I don't really think we can do anything else without using new device flags.

It will be resuspended by the pm_runtime_idle() in pm_genpd_complete()
(added by one of the new patches I've been posting for the last few days).

Not necessarily. :-)
