IOW, something like the patch below.

It actually should work with the ACPI PM domain code as is except that it
will cause the device to be runtime resumed every time during suspend.

But acpi_subsys_suspend() can be changed to avoid resuming the device if
power.force_suspend is set.

Or better yet, if power.direct_complete is not set, because that means the
device needs to be resumed anyway.

And if power.direct_complete is set at that point, power.force_suspend has to
be set too.
