It seems to be a very common problem indeed, I haven't seen any driver
yet that uses pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend(). We could play a game of
whack-a-mole, but we'll never win. Could this be solved in the runtime
PM framework instead ? pm_runtime_disable() could disable auto-suspend.
If there are legitimate use cases for disabling runtime PM temporarily
without disabling auto-suspend, then a new function designed
specifically for remove() that would take care of cleaning everything up
could be another option.
