As far as I can tell, the practical effect is additional power
consumption while the device is idle.  I found no corruption path, but I
have no ICM-42607 hardware to reproduce the failure or measure the
current.

It does not necessarily persist indefinitely.  If the PWR_MGMT0 write
fails, regmap may contain the requested OFF state while the hardware
remains ON.  A later sensor read requests an enabled mode, so
inv_icm42607_set_pwr_mgmt0() retries the write instead of taking its
"no change" return.  If the bus error was transient, the cache and
hardware are then resynchronized.

I also noticed a cost to this patch: returning an error such as -EIO from
.runtime_suspend() makes the PM core set power.runtime_error. Subsequent
reads then fail in PM_RUNTIME_ACQUIRE_AUTOSUSPEND() before any sensor
register is accessed, until the PM status is reset.  A successful system
suspend may clear that state.

The patch therefore trades a logged idle power leak that may recover on
a later access for a potentially sticky runtime-PM failure.  Since this
was found by inspection only, I would not rush it into the rc phase.  I
would rather revisit the error handling and target the next merge window.
