Yes I will fix. I assume that returning 0 is allowed if no descriptors
are allocated here. So much for correcting rpm usage ;-)

We definitely want pm_runtime_get_sync() because pm_request_resume() is
an ASYNC resume and so does not guarantee the device is accessible after
the call returns. The pm_runtime_get variant is nice too because it
keeps track of the number of gets and puts that have occurred.

Is this change now in the mainline? Do you have commit ID for that?

I recall the last time we discussed this that Rafael said that they were
going to do that, but he said as a rule of thumb if you need to resume
it, resume it [0].

Cheers
