Why not just leave runtime PM active until all the subdevices are gone?
This is a really bad hack and it's going to be fragile.

This is going to break bisection since it will result in double
disables, it'd be fine to do the MFD change first since that'd just
leak a reference to enable on a regulator which is about to be discarded
entirely anyway but this reordering (and whatever other changes you've
done since v1) means you add a double free.
