Sure, we can rename/move the code - do you have a proposal? :-)

The idea with having them as separate functions and something with 
"runtime" in the name is because it is only when having 
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME the functions actually does something.

If I move the the code into amba_pm_suspend|resume_noirq I will need 
ifdefs around the code. I am fine with that as well...
