Good decision. Let's do this step by step.

I will keep on building my arch specific platform bus code on top of
the latest version of this patch.
However, to begin with I'll not make use of the ->runtime_idle()
callback in the bus code. This because rearranging the existing
platform devices into a tree will require a lot of rewriting, and I'm
not convinced it's the right approach. I'd rather focus on getting
basic functionality in place at this point. So if no one else needs
->runtime_idle(), feel free to exclude the ->runtime_idle() part if
you want to make the patch even leaner to begin with.
Together with the bus specific callbacks I plan to modify device
drivers to include pm_runtime_suspend() / pm_runtime_resume() calls to
notify the bus code when they are idle and when they need wakeup,
similar to my earlier proposal with
platform_device_idle()/platform_device_wakeup().

Do we really need to wrap these in CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME? The callbacks
for STR and STD are not wrapped in CONFIG_SUSPEND and
CONFIG_HIBERNATION, right?

I'm sure you put a lot of thought into this already, but is it really
the best approach to assume that busses without runtime pm callbacks
can be suspended? I'd go with an error value by default and only
return 0 as callback return value.

This pm_lock_device() comment seems to come from old code, no?

Same here, does non-existing runtime pm callbacks really mean we can resume?

Any thoughts on performing ->runtime_resume()/->runtime_suspend() in
enable() and disable()? I guess it's performed too early/late to make
sense from the driver point of view?
Looking good, thanks a lot for your work on this!
Any chance we can get this included in -rc1?
