As far as I can tell, the domain will also be powered off again after
probe finished, unless the device grabs a runtime PM reference. This is
what happens via the dev->pm_domain->sync() call after successful probe
of a driver.

It seems to me like it's not a very well defined case what to do when a
device needs to be powered up but runtime PM is not enabled.

Adding Rafael and linux-pm, maybe they can provide some guidance on what
to do in these situations.

To summarize, what we're debating here is how to handle powering up a
device if the pm_runtime infrastructure doesn't take care of it. Jon's
proposal here was, and we use this elsewhere, to do something like this:

	pm_runtime_enable(dev);
	if (!pm_runtime_enabled(dev)) {
		err = foo_runtime_resume(dev);
		if (err < 0)
			goto fail;
	}

So basically when runtime PM is not available, we explicitly "resume"
the device to power it up.

It seems to me like that's a fairly common problem, so I'm wondering if
there's something that the runtime PM core could do to help with this.
Or perhaps there's already a way to achieve this that we're all
overlooking?

Rafael, any suggestions?

Thanks,
Thierry
