Currently I'm looking at sun4i_csi.c as an example of runtime ops, but it
seems a bit wrong to have suspend and resume function marked with
__maybe_unused because they are the only functions which enable needed clocks.
If CONFIG_PM is not enabled, then this driver simply won't work, because
clocks will never get enabled. I guess I can implement runtime pm ops in the
same way and add additional handling when CONFIG_PM is not enabled, right?

BTW, which callback is get_sync? I don't see it in dev_pm_ops. I suppose I
need only runtime_suspend and runtime_resume.

Off topic: sun6i_csi.c includes linux/pm_runtime.h but it doesn't have any kind
of power management as far as I can see.

Best regards,
Jernej
