Every device that implements runtime power management for DAIs is doing it in pretty much the same way: in the startup callback they take a runtime PM reference and then in the shutdown callback they release that reference, keeping the device active while the DAI is active. Given the frequency with which this is done and the obviousness of the need to keep the device active in this period factor the code out into the core, taking references on the device for each CPU DAI, CODEC DAI and DMA device in the core.
As runtime PM is reference counted this shouldn't interfere with any other reference holding by the drivers, and since (in common with the existing implementations) we don't check for errors on enabling it shouldn't matter if the device actually has runtime PM enabled or not.
