I think we are in agreement that direct_complete will not be necessary any
more when all drivers/bus types/PM domains and so on can do the "safe
suspend", but we're not there yet. :-)

So below is a prototype patch.  It still is missing a documentation update, but
other than that it should be complete unless I missed something.

The way it works is that the SAFE_SUSPEND flag is not looked at by the core
at all.  The ACPI PM domain looks at it and the PCI bus type can be modified
to take it into account in the future.  That is what causes the "runtime resume
during system suspend" to be skipped.

In turn, the ALWAYS_SUSPEND flag is only looked at by the core and it causes
the decision on whether or not to use direct_complete to be deferred to the
__device_suspend_late() time.  If you set it for a PCI device, the effect is
equivalent to "no direct_complete".  If you set it for a device in the ACPI
PM domain, that depends on whether or not SAFE_SUSPEND is set.  If it isn't
set, the effect is equivalent to "no direct_complete" too, but if it is set,
the core may still try to use direct_complete for the device, but it will
make the decision on it in __device_suspend_late() and then it will not invoke
the ->suspend_late callback for the device if it is still runtime suspended.
[Note that you cannot runtime resume and runtime suspend again a device during
system suspend, so if it is runtime suspended in __device_suspend_late(), it
has been runtime suspend all the way since device_prepare().]

So say you point the ->suspend_late and ->resume_early callbacks of
the designware i2c driver to pm_runtime_force_suspend() and
pm_runtime_force_resume(), respectively, and set both the SAFE_SUSPEND
and ALWAYS_SUSPEND flags for the device.

If system suspend is started and the device is not runtime suspended,
direct_complete is not set for it and everything works as usual, so say
the device is runtime suspended in device_prepare().  Then, the ACPI PM
domain checks the other conditions for leaving it in runtime suspend and
returns either 0 or a positive number from acpi_subsys_prepare().

If 0 is returned, direct_complete is not set by the core and
acpi_subsys_suspend() is called.  It checks the SAFE_SUSPEND flag and sees
that the device need not be runtime resumed, so it invokes the driver's
->suspend callback (which is not present, so it doesn't do anything).
Next, in __device_suspend_late(), acpi_subsys_suspend_late() is invoked
and it calls pm_runtime_force_suspend(), which executes the driver's
->runtime_suspend() callback, and then (if successful) calls
acpi_dev_suspend_late() to put the device into a low-power state.  The
resume path is a reverse of the above in this case.  So far, so good.

If acpi_subsys_prepare() returns a positive number, the core sets
direct_complete for the device.  Next, in __device_suspend(), it sees
direct_complete set and checks the ALWAYS_SUSPEND flag.  It is set,
so the runtime PM disabling part is skipped.  acpi_subsys_suspend()
is called, it checks SAFE_SUSPEND and skips the runtime resume of the
device.  Now, the device can stay runtime suspended or it may be runtime
resumed in the meantime.

First, say it stays runtime suspended.  __device_suspend_late() is called
for it, sees direct_complete set and sees that the device is runtime
suspended, so it just returns with direct_complete set.  The resume path
will be skipped entirely for the device, so it remains runtime suspended
all the way throughout the system suspend and resume.  Still OK.

Now, say the device has been runtime resumed between __device_suspend()
and __device_suspend_late().  The latter will see direct_complete set
and will see that the device is not runtime suspended any more, so it
will clear direct_complete and call acpi_subsys_suspend_late().  That,
in turn, will call pm_runtime_force_suspend(), which will see that
the device is not runtime suspended, so it will call the driver's
->runtime_suspend() callback.  Next,  acpi_dev_suspend_late() will be
called to put the device into a low-power state.  From that point on
everything is equivalent to the case in which acpi_subsys_prepare()
returned 0.
