Do we need this get_noresume/set_active dance? I remember it was for
some reason needed for PCI devices, but I don't see why for I2C
anything else than just pm_runtime_enable() would be necessary.

Also, we enable runtime PM, but we don't provide any callbacks. If
there is no callback in any level of the hierarchy, NULL would be
returned in [3], making [2] return -ENOSYS and [1] fail. The behavior
depends on subsystem and whether the device is attached to a
pm_domain. In our particular case I'd guess the device would be in an
ACPI pm_domain and that would work, but the driver is generic and must
work in any cases.
