Yeah, I was a little torn on whether we should care about any possible
lost power savings here, because now we stay runtime-enabled even if
the display is not enable()d. But I'm not aware of a good hook for
handling this kind of a sequence, and I'm not convinced there is much
savings by disabling the power domain in that case.

Oops, good catch. I've been doing too much debugging/development on
5.10.y stable. Fixed in v2.

In v2, I've performed cleanup for the runtime PM state in this patch,
and added an additional patch to fix the other existing issues you
noted. Thanks.
