Using runtime PM for this sounds indeed like the most generic approach.
I'm not very familiar with the API, but I thought it required explicit
architecture or bus support (or the driver itself can provide hooks via
pm_ops), so it might be difficult to implement for platforms that don't
have working runtime PM support. I'll have to look into this some more.

It doesn't require explicit arch support, though many architectures
choose to integrate their PM frameworks with it either directly or via
power domains.  If the architecture doesn't do anything with it then it
should just work at the driver level.
