Hi,

I am afraid this is a bad approach in principle. The device
behaves according to spec. And it behaves like most hardware.
If you do not want runtime PM for such devices, do not switch
it on. The refcounting needs to be done correctly.

This patch does something that udev should do and in a
questionable manner.
