You are right; but the driver will still be working, you just don't
get the benefit from inactivating the device at request inactivity -
as you pointed out.

The reason for why I wanted to do this as separate steps was to make
it easier for reviewing, otherwise the patch(es) would have been quite
big and messy. I am for sure open to adopt to your proposal, but just
wanted to give you some more background, before I go ahead and send a
v2.

Kind regards
