You are right; but the driver will still be working, you just don't get the benefit from inactivating the device at request inactivity - as you pointed out. The reason for why I wanted to do this as separate steps was to make it easier for reviewing, otherwise the patch(es) would have been quite big and messy. I am for sure open to adopt to your proposal, but just wanted to give you some more background, before I go ahead and send a v2.
