This one should probably have been RFC.

For a little more context here, this was uncovered when experimenting
with using runtime PM for CPU devices which don't have a dev->driver.

This check might have made sense before PM domains, but with PM domains,
it's entirely possible to have a simple device without a driver and the
PM domain handles all the necesary PM, so I think this check
could/should be removed.

Thoughts?
