That wouldn't work as runtime PM may be effectively disabled by user
space via sysfs.  That's one of the reasons why you need the extra
system-wide suspend callback in the first place. :-)

Yes, you can do something like that, but be careful to make sure that
the state of the device after system-wide resume is consistent with
its runtime PM status in all cases.
