Yeah, that would remove the need for messing with the runtime PM
enable status of descendant devices, but I wonder why Rafael went that
way initially.

IIUIC, what you are proposing is to use ignore_children in a way
similar to how force_direct_complete was used in this patch?
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/60198/focus=60292
That should work as well, but Rafael raised some objections and thus I
went with the present direct_complete_default, which should work if we
can relax the check as discussed above.
Thanks,
