No problem, just that we need to bring in few other includes and
devres.c is currently free of any core irq stuff :) I can switch to
internals.h no problem if you prefer that.

OK :)

OK I'll take a look if we can just set some pm_runtime flag and use
the pm_runtime counters for that.

Heh !!true.

Yes the drivers may need to restore hardware state in the pm_runtime
calls and who knows what else drivers will be doing. So that too might
be a good reason to just set a flag in pm_runtime land.

Anyways, thanks for your comments. I'll post a complete series after
looking into the wake-up counters a bit.
