The problem is that with Ingenic SoCs some clocks must be enabled in 
order to load the firmware, and the core doesn't give you an option to 
register a callback to be called before loading it. The first version 
of my patchset added .prepare/.unprepare callbacks to the struct 
rproc_ops, but the feedback from the maintainers was that I should do 
it via runtime PM. However, it was not possible to keep it contained in 
the driver, since again the core doesn't provide a "prepare" callback, 
so no place to call pm_runtime_get_sync(). So we settled with having 
runtime PM in the core without callbacks, which will trigger the 
runtime PM callbacks of the driver at the right moment.

Sorry if that caused you trouble.
