Thank you. I believe we can address your concern.

- XXX_suspend/XXX_resume (i.e. classic suspend/resume) depends on
  CONFIG_PM_SLEEP. This always selects CONFIG_PM. This always includes
  the runtime_pm framework. So, if XXX_suspend/XXX_resume gets called,
  the runtime_pm framework is always present, but may not be actively
  managing the device.

- "when runtime_pm is false" AFAIK the only way to disable runtime_pm
  when CONFIG_PM is set, is to write "on" to /sys/devices/.../power/control.
  See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-power
  In that case, the runtime_pm framework will activate the device, calling
  XXX_runtime_resume() if necessary. Are there other ways of disabling it?

- if /sys/devices/.../power/control is "on", then:
  gl9763e_runtime_resume() always called -> LPM always disabled
  gl9763e_suspend() -> LPM enabled -> gl9763e_resume() -> LPM disabled
  In between "classic" XXX_suspend and XXX_resume, LPM will be enabled,
  so the device can enter L1.x and S0ix.

And the LPM negotiation flags look correct.
Does that address your concerns?
