Ah, ok. I didn't look too closely at the semantic patch itself and
wrongly associated it with the all-or-nothing media subsystem
conversions.
Thanks for clarifying further in v3 too.
Still a bit worried that this will push the cleanup crew to send more
broken patches since it sends a signal that pm_runtime_get_sync() is
always wrong. But guess there's not much to do about that now after
having added pm_runtime_resume_and_get() in the first place.
