There are various ways how runtime PM interface functions generally work,
and generally return an error when runtime PM is disabled. Incrementing the
usage_count when runtime PM is disabled would make
pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() very special and not match what the rest would
do. Therefore I think it's best to keep this in the driver. After all, mo
other driver needs this in the media tree, which is the major user of the
function.
