I am aware that ME is not POR under Linux, so the commit message
states clearly that the patch is just a "temporary workaround".
Not every laptop can disable ME/AMT, and I don't think asking user to
fiddle with BIOS is a good thing, hence the patch.

Yes, disabling runpm on mei_me can workaround the issue, and that's
essentially what this patch does by adding DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME |
DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE flag.
