I'm probably missing something but you're not using the interrupts, so
how could an interrupt handler call it?

Also, other drivers seem to be doing that just fine (mtk_thermal for
example), so surely there's a way?

The point of runtime_pm is to keep the device on as long as it is
used, so it wouldn't change anything there.

I mean, you can even enable it in the probe if you want, my point is
that the hooks that you have are exact equivalents to the one provided
by runtime_pm already, so there's no need to define them in the first
place.
