If I read the PM core correctly, when this autosuspend timer fires it
calls ->runtime_suspend() directly rather than retrying
->runtime_idle(), so this looks equivalent to returning 0. Could the
real issue be the pm_runtime_put() in pvr_watchdog_worker(), which
perhaps should be pm_runtime_put_autosuspend()?
