However, the S0ix residency cannot be reached without MEI device getting
into low power state. Hence, for mei devices that support D0i3, it's better
to make runtime power management mandatory and not rely on the system
integration such as udev rules.
This policy cannot be applied globally as some older platforms
were found to have broken power management.

It still is not mandatory with this change. The default changes from
"on" to "auto", but still user space can change it back to "on".
The change itself look OK, though.

That's correct, maybe better statement would be 'default setting' instead of 'mandatory'.
I can respin the patch if needed, let me know.

Greg has applied it already it seems, so I guess that shouldn't be
necessary. :-)
Thanks,
