That is possible.

If you want it to be enabled by default, you need to call
pm_runtime_allow() from the driver at probe time, in addition to
pm_runtime_enable(), in the first place, but that only drops one
reference, so question is where the other one comes from.

Are the pm_runtime_get*() and pm_runtime_put*() calls balanced?
