I'd argue for reverting the offending commit as that is the only way to
make sure that the new warning is ever addressed.

Vendors unfortunately do not a have a good track record of following up
and fixing issues like this.

Judging from a quick look at the code (and the commit message of the
patch in question), no host controller driver depends on the commit in
question as the ones that do enable runtime PM just resume
unconditionally at probe() currently (i.e. effectively ignores the state
of their children).
