Thank you very much for the conclusions!
It's helpful to me about runtime PM behavior.

Thank you very much for your help!
Also, I'm not sure how to fix for a long term kernels though...

Sure! I tested your patch, and then the following message disappeared!

   Enabling runtime PM for inactive device (ee080200.usb-phy) with active children

However, the following message still exists.

   Enabling runtime PM for inactive device (ee080000.usb) with active children

So, I guess ohci-platform.c also has similar issue.

JFYI, the ehci-platform.c doesn't have runtime PM handling.
So, I think that error message doesn't output from ehci devices.
