As I mentioned for patch4, pm_runtime_force_suspend() is being used
from driver's ->remove() callback too.

If such a driver/device gets probed again, we need a fresh start. It
seems like we need to clear the needs_force_resume flag in
pm_runtime_reinit(). In fact, that looks like an existing bug, even
before $subject patch, right?

Kind regards
