But the above expects IRQs to be disabled during the
pm_runtime_put_sync, and synchronous calls can turn IRQs back on in
rpm_idle:

        if (callback) {
                spin_unlock_irq(&dev->power.lock);

                callback(dev);

I see other folks who know this better than me are discussing USB run
time PM and might_sleep contexts, so I'll note this concern and let
others chime in if they think there's a real problem here.
