Very minor note...  A slightly better way to do the same thing is:

	pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
	pm_runtime_get_noresume(dev);
	pm_runtime_enable(dev);

The get_noresume says that you want to increment the usage counter
without performing any callbacks, and doing it before the
pm_runtime_enable avoids any window during which a runtime suspend
might somehow occur.
