Even without clocks and power domains configured, simple-pm-bus is still
different from simple-bus as simple-pm-bus enables runtime PM for the bus
driver.

Which you need to have working Runtime PM for child devices, right? ;-)

Right. And based on what I remember we simply cannot do pm_runtime_enable()
for simple-bus without breaking tons of devices.

Why not? Do you have an example of what would break?
The only reason I created simple-pm-bus was because the DT people
objected to adding PM to simple-bus, as they considered it wrong
conceptually.  AFAIK this wouldn't have caused any actual breakage.

Oh OK, then I just remember the reasons wrong for the need for
adding it as a driver.

Regards,

Tony
