Not following, sorry. if you use pm_runtime functions and it so happens
that the resume already started, then those routines would wait for the
resume to complete.

In other words, there can be multiple requests to resume, but only the
*first* request will trigger a transition and others will just increase
a refcount.

In addition, the pm_runtime framework guarantees that the peripheral
device can only start resuming when the parent controller device is
fully resumed.

While I am at it, one thing that kept us busy as well is the
relationship between system suspend and pm_runtime suspend. In the
generic case a system suspend will cause a pm_runtime resume before you
can actually start the system suspend, but you might be able to skip
this step. In the Intel case when the controller and its parent device
were suspended we had to pm_runtime resume everything because some
registers were no longer accessible.
