Sorry, but some misunderstanding is here:
1) If some code call pm_runtime_set_active() it has to ensure
that all PM resources switched to ON state. All! So, it will 
be ok to call enable & get after that - these functions will only 
adjust counters.

2) if CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME=n the pm_runtime_set_active() will
be empty (see pm_runtime.h) and you can't relay on it.

3) if CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME=n the pm_runtime_enable/disable() will
be empty - and disable_depth == 1 all the time.

In my case, the combination of generic PD and PM clock framework
will do everything I need for both cases CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME=y/n.

PM domain attach_dev/detach_dev callbacks - will fill PM resources
and enable them if CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME=n.

if CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME - PM resources will be enabled/disabled
by Runtime PM through .start()/.stop() callbacks.

And seems suspend/resume will work too - can't try it now, but it
should work, because .start()/.stop() callbacks have to be called
from pm_genpd_suspend_noirq.

It always was (and seems will) a big challenge to support both
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME=y and system suspend in drivers ;), especially if driver was
initially created using Runtime PM centric approach.

But, for the case CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME + !CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME + suspend...
It will be painful :..((


For example your patches (may be I'm not fully understand your problem, 
so here are just comments to code):
patch 3:
  - I think you can do smth like this in probe 
        ret = pm_runtime_get_sync(&pdev->dev);
        if (ret < 0)
                goto err_m2m;
+       
+       if (!pm_runtime_enabled(dev)) {
+               gsc_runtime_resume(dev);
+       } 

 - and similar thing in remove, before pm_runtime_disable
 
patch 5 - pm_runtime_force_suspend/resume() will not take into
account or change Runtime PM state of the device if !CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME.
runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDED always in this case!
So, there may be some side-effects.

patch 7 - you can't call clk_prepare/unprepare from Runtime PM
callbacks, because they aren't atomic

Oh, You definitely will be enjoyed ;)
