How is this happening?  I think that needs proper investigation - or if
it's had more investigation, then the results needs to be included in
the commit description so that everyone can understand the issue here.

We should not be resuming a device which hasn't been suspended.  Maybe
the runtime PM enable sequence is wrong, and that's what should be fixed
instead?  

This sequence in the probe() function:

        pm_runtime_irq_safe(&pdev->dev);
        pm_runtime_enable(&pdev->dev);
        pm_runtime_get_sync(&pdev->dev);

would enable runtime PM while the s/w state indicates that it's disabled,
and then that pm_runtime_get_sync() will want to resume the device.  See
the section "5. Runtime PM Initialization, Device Probing and Removal"
in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt, specifically the second paragraph
of that section.
