Applied (as 5.20 material), but there is still a quite fundamental
problem with pm_runtime_force_suspend|resume() which is using
RPM_GET_CALLBACK() in these functions, because that macro returns a
middle-layer PM-runtime callback, so any bus type or PM domain
implementing meaningful generic power management ends up calling its
own PM-runtime callback from its system-wide PM callback which is
super-confusing at best.

Another problem with them is that they are generally not suitable for
devices that can wake up the system from sleep.
