Ah, right. I guess you can either add a depends on PM, or you can call
the function directly and use set_active like we're doing in the SPI
driver.

get_sync is the user facing API, ie what you call when you want the
device to be powered up. This will call runtime_resume if needed
(there were no users, and you become the first one), and on the parent
devices if needed too (even though it's not our case).

That's probably something we can remove then

Thanks!
