This is correct.

What about just changing this to goto disable_pm;

goto disable_pm;

goto disable_pm;

Keep the top pm_runtime_put_noidle().

The ak8974_set_power() call is fine, the power on call does not
need to happen in balance. Sure it will attempt to write a register
but so will the power on call.
