Thanks, that makes a lot more sense now.

Nick, Can you please test if nouveau works with runtime PM in the
latest 6.4-rc?

If it works in 6.4-rc, there are probably nouveau commits that need
to be backported to 6.1 LTS.

If it's still broken in 6.4-rc, I believe you should file a bug:

This thread is in relation to this commit:

24867516f06d ("ACPI: OSI: Remove Linux-Dell-Video _OSI string")

Nick has found that runtime PM is *not* working for nouveau.

If you recall we did 24867516f06d because 5775b843a619 was
supposed to have fixed it.
