Because the device is still suspended at this point, most likely.
Presumably drv->pm->runtime_resume(dev) has restored it's registers, but
the device's runtime PM status hasn't changed (yet).

It depends on what kind of x86 you mean.  On PCs we can't control power
domains directly and it is done through ACPI power resources, which works.
I don't think there's a need to rework this.

On Moorestown and similar, I can't say, since I don't know how the hardware
is designed.
