+ * blk_set_runtime_active - Force runtime status of the queue to be active
+ * @q: the queue of the device
+ *
+ * If the device is left runtime suspended during system suspend the resume
+ * hook typically resumes the device and corrects runtime status
+ * accordingly. However, that does not affect the queue runtime PM status
+ * which is still "suspended". This prevents processing requests from the
+ * queue.
+ *
+ * This function can be used in driver's resume hook to correct queue
+ * runtime PM status and re-enable peeking requests from the queue. It
+ * should be called before first request is added to the queue.
