Right and I would expect that Slave device would do runtime_get_sync()
first thing in the callback. That would ensure that the Master is
powered up, Slave is powered up, all enumeration is complete. This is
more standard way to deal with this, we expect devices to be so we
low powered or off so cannot do read/write unless we resume.

The point which is not clear to me if why do we need a specific
sequence. Above sequence should work for you, if not I would like to
understand why.

If we are worried about Slave device remembering then we should save
state in device context. But i think that slave should *always* perform
runtime resume as a first step in the callback before they would do any
bus/device ops. After all, the callback is wake from low power state
