But not pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend()?

Why disable runtime PM if you want the runtime-PM methods to put the
device into a low-power state?

Because autosuspend is still in use at this point.

Overall it sounds like the system is behaving the way it is supposed
to.

But maybe we should make pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() call
pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(), to avoid the unbind - bind - immediate
autosuspend behavior.
