Question: Can LEAVE_SUSPENDED and NEVER_SKIP be valid combination? I
guess not!? Should we validate for wrong combinations?

dev->power.usage_count is always > 0 at this point, meaning that
dev->power.must_resume always becomes true. :-)
You should rather use "atomic_read(&dev->power.usage_count) > 1".

First, these assignment could be bypassed if the direct_complete path
is used. Perhaps it's more robust to reset these flags already in
device_prepare().
Second, have you considered setting the default value of
dev->power.may_skip_resume to true? That would means the subsystem
instead need to implement an opt-out method. I am thinking that it may
not be an issue, since we anyway at this point, don't have drivers
using the LEAVE_SUSPENDED flag.

Does it have to be managed in the "noirq" phase? Wouldn't be perfectly
okay do this in the suspend and suspend_late phases as well?
