Hi Tommaso,
Thanks for your patch!
I don't understand why you included this patch in a series with clock
patches. AFAIUC, there is no dependency. Am I missing something?

This is not really what this patch does: the Runtime PM-related changes
just hide^Wmove reset handling into the runtime callbacks.

(I assume) This patch does fix resuming from _system_ suspend.

The driver still does not do dynamic power management: you still call
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() from the driver's probe() .callback, and
call pm_runtime_put() only from the .remove() callback, so the device
is powered all the time.
To implement dynamic power management, you have to change that,
and call pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and pm_runtime_put() from the
.device_alloc_chan_resources() resp. .device_free_chan_resources()
callbacks (see e.g. drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c).

Do you really want to reset the device (and thus loose register state)
each and every time the device is runtime-suspended? For now it doesn't
matter much, but once you implement real dynamic power management,
it does.
I think the reset handling should be moved to the system suspend/resume
callbacks.

Shouldn't this reinitialize some registers?
For now that indeed doesn't matter, as reset is only deasserted
from .probe(), before any register initialization.
