A select of PM_RUNTIME is both surprising and odd - why is that there?
The usual idiom is that the device starts out powered up (flagged using
pm_runtime_set_active()) and then runtime PM then suspends it when it's
compiled in.  That way if for some reason people want to avoid runtime
PM they can still use the device.

The !enable means that it'll only ever be able to go one way.  Also note
that the documentation was clarified here to make the enable flag be the
absolute logic level, not if chip select was asserted.

This means we can only transfer a single FIFO of data?  I didn't see a
check on the transfer length.
