Yes, please find a better name!  Maybe something starting with 
"generic_" to indicate that this applies only to devices using the 
GENERIC_PM_OPS.

This last part is normally true for all devices.  If you don't want it 
to hold when want_interaction isn't set, you should add a good 
explanation to sections 6 and 7 in Documentation/power/runtime.txt.

Don't forget that you also need to describe these things in 
Documentation/power/runtime.txt.
