Actually, I think we shouldn't give up hope here. Currently, we do this:

pm_runtime_get_noresume(dev);
pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
pm_runtime_enable(dev);

ret = pcdrv->probe(pcdev, id);

What we could do is:
pm_runtime_get_noresume(dev);
pm_runtime_get_noresume(dev);
pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
pm_runtime_enable(dev);

ret = pcdrv->probe(pcdev, id);
if (ret == 0) {
pcdev->irq_safe = pm_runtime_is_irq_safe(dev);
pm_runtime_put(dev);
break;
}
pm_runtime_disable(dev);
pm_runtime_set_suspended(dev);
pm_runtime_put_noidle(dev);
pm_runtime_put_noidle(dev);

which would ensure that we hold a usecount until after the probe function
has returned. Would that work?

I'll give you that it's pretty horrid.

Would another possible solution be to remember the irq-safeness in the
suspend handler, and use that in the resume handler? Resume should
/always/ undo what the suspend handler previously did wrt clk API stuff.
