Ok, Documentation/power/pci.txt explains the semantics on calling
pm_runtime_allow/forbid() for PCI devices, but still states incorrectly
that you need to call pm_runtime_enable().

So based on all these I think the correct init order is if you want to
leave auto suspend disabled:

pm_runtime_set_autosuspend_delay(device, 10000); /* 10s */
pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(device);
pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(device);
pm_runtime_put(device);
