Yes, I make sure to call pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() when
pm_runtime_get_active() returns 0 and suspended flag is set.

Also, I guess we should not set the suspended flag until after checking
the return value from mma8452_standby() in mma8452_runtime_suspend().

In case one of the regulator_disable() calls fails, the suspended flag
will be left set to true. But as the device is in standby, no interrupt
storm should happen.

I will move the WRITE_ONCE() to after checking the ret value, so we
don't leave suspended set to true in this case.
