I agree it's odd and I will try to find out.

If I remove all pm_ calls and the include of pm_runtime.h register reads 
from the device do no longer works, so operating the device fails. Even 
if I dig out the root cause for this, is there any harm in keeping the 
pm_ operations in the initial entablement?
