Okay relooking at core I do think that runtime resume should not be invoked
while suspending, as core seems to call pm_runtime_get_noresume() but I am
still missing something here..

I do see this behaviour (runtime resume on suspend) on Intel audio drivers
which are PCI devices, is PCI or ACPI doing some magic here.

I have seen this as consistent behavior and actually an irritant, as we used
to download firmware in resume patch, but then we end up thrashing the
controller while going to suspend!
