Read the documentation of this function. It suggests what
I think is the appropriate change here. Use pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
not get_sync()

I'm not keen on an error block that only applies to one of the two legs
of the if /else in such a large function. Better here would be to introduce
a pair of helpers for the if and else parts (enable / disable) and call
the appropriate one. Do that in a precursor patch and then this will
become a more readable change.
