Thanks for the report and sorry for the breakage!

My bad, obviously DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME must be accepted by device_link_add(),
as well as DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE.

Please test the appended patch and let me know if it helps.

Greg, in case this is confirmed to fix the issue, do you want me to post it as a
separate patch, or would you prefer a v3 of the $subject one?
