Right now, setting the delay to -1 is taken to mean that runtime PM
should be disabled. Hence, if the device is suspended, it has to be
resumed. (The reason is historical; in the earliest implementation of
runtime PM, there was no way to disable it other than to set the delay
to -1 -- there was no separate sysfs knob.)
You are suggesting that the meaning be changed: The kernel would never
initiate an autosuspend, but runtime PM would still be enabled so the
device would remain suspended if it already was.
I can't think of any reason why that would cause any problems. I'll
suggest it in a new thread on the linux-pm mailing list. It's somewhat
off-topic for this thread.
