You could sprinkle dev_info(dev, "%s\n", __func__) to the
omap_hdq_runtime_suspend() and omap_hdq_runtime_resume()
functions.

Well to me it seems that we have PM runtime handling properly
implemented for all the functions in w1_bus_master omap_w1_master,
so we should not have any consumers calling into the driver
bypassing PM runtime.

Maybe the PM runtime usecounts get unbalanced somewhere in the
driver where we end up with driver permanently in disabled state?
