Well, you have a number of devices which cannot do runtime pm. They can do suspend/resume with the whole system. For them these operations mean saving/restoring state. So for these devices implementing autosuspend makes no sense. They would sensibly do only idle/busy detection.

In these cases the devices involved should report themselves busy, shouldn't they?

We lack a notion of telling devices that they are opened only for detecting wakeups. Currently a driver has to assume that an opened device has to be fully functional.
