Sorry I didn't have time to get to this yesterday...

This really should be pm_runtime_autosuspend(dev).  In practice there's
very little difference; it's mostly a matter of style.

This should be left the way it was.  scsi_autopm_put_device() does 
pm_runtime_put_sync(), which will call scsi_runtime_idle(), which will 
now call pm_runtime_autosuspend().

This line should be kept as is.  The SCSI core uses the incremented 
usage count to prevent driverless devices from being runtime-suspended.
