I can't see how this would happen. How runtime_resume/runtime_suspend
callbacks would get invoked with this code, if, e.g. originally driver called 
pm_runtime_enable(), pm_runtime_get_sync(), pm_runtime_put_sync() in probe() ? 

pm_runtime_get_noresume() merely increments usage counter of a device. 
It seems that these changes will break the s5p-tv driver. I might be missing 
something though.

As Mark pointed out this is currently unwanted behaviour to runtime PM
activate a bus controller device manually in the core for when the client's
probe() is executed, since i2c core will activate the bus controller for when 
transfer is being carried out.  
But I can understand this is needed for ACPI and it shouldn't break existing
drivers, that do runtime PM activate the client device in probe().

Now I'm sure this will break power management of the drivers/media/exynos4-is
driver, due to incorrect power sequence (power domain and clocks handling).
I'll try to take care of it in separate patch, as I have some patches pending,
that move most of code from drivers/media/exynos4-is/fimc-is-sensor.c to 
drivers/media/i2c/s5k6a3.c.
