Well, this was exactly my point previously. :-)

Still, although for the majority of devices 'runtime_wakeup' disabled would
mean no runtime PM at all IMO, there may be devices that actually work without
remote wakeup, although they support it in general.

I can even imagine a scenario where this setting might be useful, like when
we don't want a network adapter to be woken up from the outside.

Thanks,
Rafael
