Well, I mean runtime resume request issued by leaf devices first.

I mean, wakeup event is sent to ATA port, but our goal is to resume
ZPODD after receiving this wakeup event.
Ideally, it is ACPI that resumes ATA port. And then, the ATA port
runtime resumes ZPODD. But this does not look good to runtime resume a
child device in the parent's .runtime_resume callback.
So I introduced these two APIs so that an runtime_resume request can be
sent to ZPODD directly and the runtime PM core can resume all the
parents of ZPODD automatically.
