That's the point. We know pm_runtime_force_* works nicely for the
trivial middle-layer cases.

In which cases the middle-layer callbacks don't exist, so it's just like
reusing driver callbacks directly. :-)

I'd like to ask you clarify one point here and provide some info which I hope can be useful - 
what's exactly means  "trivial middle-layer cases"?

Is it when systems use "drivers/base/power/clock_ops.c - Generic clock
manipulation PM callbacks" as dev_pm_domain (arm davinci/keystone), or OMAP
device framework struct dev_pm_domain omap_device_pm_domain
(arm/mach-omap2/omap_device.c) or static const struct dev_pm_ops
tegra_aconnect_pm_ops?

if yes all above have PM runtime callbacks.

Trivial ones don't actually do anything meaningful in their PM callbacks.

Things like the platform bus type, spi bus type, i2c bus type and similar.

If the middle-layer callbacks manipulate devices in a significant way, then
they aren't trivial.

Thanks,
