The pm_runtime_get_sync() turns hardware ON by invoking
ov7740_set_power(ov7740, 1), and thus, the ON->OFF is kept balanced in
both RPM-available and RPM-unavailable cases. The RPM state of device
should be reset after driver removal.

It doesn't look like any additional cleanups are needed by that ov7740
driver. The driver removal is opposite to the probe, hence it should be
correct as-is.
