During the probe I can see that
bus_power_dev->power.runtime_status = RPM_SUSPENDED and then vpumix is
powered up on GPC driver.

On resume routine I can't see this flow. bus_power_dev-
>power.runtime_status = RPM_ACTIVE and vpumix end up not being powered-
up.

I checked the suspend flow and the GPC tries to poweroff vpumix.
