There is no harm in applying this patch on its own. It fixes a legit issue of
enabling the parent runtime PM before the child as required by the PM core. Rest
of the controller drivers follow the same pattern.

I fail to understand why you want this to be combined with Krishna's patch. That
patch is only a trigger, but even without that patch the issue still exists (not
user visible ofc).
