Ahh, that one is missing. Thanks!

I don't want to play with runtime PM anymore at this time. I am
removing the device so I am cleaning what was done in probe. Without
the pm_runtime_disable() the next probe of device will trigger error
of unbalanced enable:

The need of disabling autosuspend was not quite obvious to me and I
did not find information about it in documentation. However now it
makes sense... I'll send a patch updating the docs.

Thank you for feedback!
