I'm not sure if the commit message is entirely accurate. Looking at the
various runtime power-management functions in nouveau_drm.c (such as
nouveau_pmops_runtime_suspend() for example), they seem to return
-EINVAL if the nouveau.runpm parameter is set to 0.

However it seems like -EACCES is indeed returned when runtime power-
management hasn't been enabled for a device. This is done automatically
for PCI devices, but not for platform devices. We don't support runtime
power-management on gk20a yet, therefore pm_runtime_enable() is never
called, causing disable_depth to remain at -1 and therefore runtime PM
helpers return -EACCES.
