Those calls to pm_runtime_enable() are in balance with previous calls
to __pm_runtime_disable and pm_runtime_disable(), in
__device_suspend() and __device_suspend_late().

In other words, the power.disable_depth is not being decremented to
zero in any of those above path, I think.

Well, I am still not convinced as I don't see how the
power.disable_depth can ever reach zero.

If you could provide a stack-trace of when power.disable_depth reaches
zero, that would be helpful.
