Indeed. Discussion ended up at right place. Don't use _DEFINE_DEV_PM_OPS()
in a driver. The solution here is correct as is.

As a side note, I think _DEFINE_DEV_PM_OPS() is getting removed or redefined
as part of tidying up the missing EXPORT_* cases. (I'm too lazy to find the
patch set but it was for mfd drivers).
