For devices with a parent/child relationship, if the child does not
utilize direct_complete, the parent is not allowed to utilize it
either and is runtime resumed upon system sleep.

Don't we need the same for supplier/consumer relationships?

The code enforcing this is in __device_suspend() and looks like this:

if (parent) {
spin_lock_irq(&parent->power.lock);

dev->parent->power.direct_complete = false;
if (dev->power.wakeup_path
&& !dev->parent->power.ignore_children)
dev->parent->power.wakeup_path = true;

spin_unlock_irq(&parent->power.lock);
}

I guess we need to iterate over the suppliers here and execute
the block for each of them.

Thanks,
