Thank you for having developed and shared this patch. Is the following
quote from the Linux kernel documentation still correct with this patch
applied or should an update for Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst
perhaps be included in this patch?

 "The power management workqueue pm_wq in which bus types and device 
drivers can
  put their PM-related work items.  It is strongly recommended that 
pm_wq be
  used for queuing all work items related to runtime PM, because this 
allows
  them to be synchronized with system-wide power transitions (suspend 
to RAM,
  hibernation and resume from system sleep states).  pm_wq is declared in
  include/linux/pm_runtime.h and defined in kernel/power/main.c."
