We can make it depend on what's there in the control file.  Let's say if that's
"on" (ie. the devices usage counter is not zero), we won't allow the parent
to be suspended.

So, as I said, why don't we keep the runtime PM of PCI devices always enabled,
regardless of whether or not there is a driver, and arrange things in such a
way that the device is automatically "suspended" if user space writes "auto"
to the control file.  IOW, I suppose we can do something like this:
