We made a conscious decision a few years ago to have ARCH_TEGRA select
PM on both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM, specifically to avoid the need to do
this dance (though there are still a few drivers left that do this, I
think).

So I think this should be unnecessary. Unless perhaps if the sysfs PM
controls have any influence on this. As far as I know, as long as the
PM kconfig option is enabled, the sysfs control only influence the
runtime behaviour (i.e. setting the sysfs PM control to "on" is going
to force runtime PM to be resumed) but there's no way to disable
runtime PM altogether via sysfs that would make the above necessary.
