That's really not the issue here.

The issue is that it's possible to claim the interrupt, and then the
driver goes wrong - not only does it attempt in that case to access
hardware which is runtime suspended, if the interrupt is subsequently
freed, it will then do a pm_runtime_put().

The interrupt code is wrong there, plain and simple.
