I don't have any support for suspend and resume PM APIs. The only PM
interface I support is PM runtime. PM can turn on/off the clocks based
on the reference counts it maintains after get/set APIs. Since PM is
turning off the clocks during power up before my driver load, I do need
to grab this lock to re-enable it during HW initialization. Then, let PM
turn off the clocks again after the AUTOSUSPEND_TIMEOUT when I'm done.

Is there any other interaction with the PM that I'm not aware of?

I did read the chapter 2. Maybe, my lack of native english speaking but
I don't get from this sentence that function parameters need to be
aligned to the opening paranthesis.

I ran Lindent and manually cleaned up the junk it introduced. The result
is this

static ssize_t show_values(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute
*attr,
			   char *buf)
