Build results:

In terms of testing, that is worse that it sounds. I enabled
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME_KUNIT_TEST last week, and it results in widespread
test failures. Picking one (from x86_64):

[   34.559694]     # pm_runtime_error_test: EXPECTATION FAILED at drivers/base/power/runtime-test.c:177
[   34.559694]     Expected 1 == pm_runtime_barrier(dev), but
[   34.559694]         pm_runtime_barrier(dev) == 0 (0x0)
[   34.563604]     # pm_runtime_error_test: pass:0 fail:1 skip:0 total:1

Looks like that fails pretty much on every architecture/platform where
it is enabled. Copying the author (Brian) for feedback.
