PM / runtime: Asynchronous "idle" in pm_runtime_allow()
Arjan reports that it takes a relatively long time to enable runtime PM for multiple devices at system startup, because all writes to the "control" attribute in sysfs are handled synchronously and if the device is suspended as a result of the write, it will block until that operation is complete. That may be avoided by passing the RPM_ASYNC flag to rpm_idle() in pm_runtime_allow() which will make it execute the device's "idle" callback asynchronously, so writes to "control" changing it from "on" to "auto" will return without waiting.
