The second line keeps the device powered all the time.
What about setting spi_controller.auto_runtime_pm = true, so the SPI
code can manage its Runtime PM status?

What about the error path?
Don't you need to disable Runtime PM again in dw_spi_remove_host()?

I assume this will be called from drivers/spi/spi-dw-mmio.c, which already
enables the clock explicitly all the timer?
