Something to be careful about is there are different types of suspend
states (PMSG_*).  IIUC, runtime PM is using PMSG_SUSPEND.  Other
states may or may not be compatible with PMSG_SUSPEND expectations, so
you can skip suspend operation if the newly requested state is
PMSG_SUSPEND but otherwise the controller needs to be woken up and
told to comply to the new state.

Thanks.
