Ok, so which is the correct order then?

1. the way it is done now in [PATCH v5 2/2] (which is the same order the 
driver has been using before anyways):

     pm_runtime_use_autosuspend()
/-- devm_pm_runtime_set_active()
|   /-- devm_pm_runtime_enable()
|   |   /-- devm_pm_runtime_get_noresume()
|   |   |
|   |   \-> pm_runtime_put_noidle()
|   \-> pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() &&
|       pm_runtime_disable()
\-> pm_runtime_set_suspended()

or,
2. swapped set_suspended() and runtime_disable()

     pm_runtime_use_autosuspend()
/-- devm_pm_runtime_set_active_enabled() [new fn]
|    == pm_runtime_set_active() &&
|       pm_runtime_enable()
|   /-- devm_pm_runtime_get_noresume()
|   |
|   \-> pm_runtime_put_noidle()
\--> pm_runtime_set_suspended()
      pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend()
      pm_runtime_disable()
