I'd assume that runtime PM status is already guaranteed to be active
when the IRQ handler is running, by some other means (e.g.
pm_runtime_get_sync() called earlier, when queuing some work to the
hardware). Otherwise, I'm not sure how a powered down device could
trigger an IRQ.

So, if the master device power is already on, suppliers should be
powered on as well, thanks to device links.
