This one seems to have missed review. :-(

I checked the fix again and it seems the problem isn't as simple:
pm_runtime_idle() call leads to powering the device off. It needs to either
be resumed first or the call to imx214_power_off() be omitted.

I tried to find a good example but the few I found are buggy. :-( Getting
runtime PM right is just hard. I'll drop the last patch and post another to
address the problem (plus the intended example drivers) if you're fine with
that.
