If someone outside, like a PM domain monitors the runtime PM status of
the device it would get the wrong impression of the device.

This is quite similar to why the amba bus needs to update the runtime
PM status during probe(), using pm_runtime_set_active(). Shouldn't we
do that either?

No.

pm_runtime_is_irq_safe() returns false, and thus the amba bus do a
clk_disable_unprepare() from it's runtime PM suspend callback when
it's invoked via pm_runtime_force_suspend().
