Subject: [PATCH] PM / core: Fix supplier device runtime PM usage counter imbalance

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

If a device link is added via device_link_add() by the driver of the
link's consumer device, the supplier's runtime PM usage counter is
going to be dropped by the pm_runtime_put_suppliers() call in
driver_probe_device().  However, in that case it is not incremented
unless the supplier driver is already present and the link is not
stateless.  That leads to a runtime PM usage counter imbalance for
the supplier device in a few cases.

To prevent that from happening, bump up the supplier runtime
PM usage counter in device_link_add() for all links with the
DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME flag set that are added at the consumer probe
time.  Use pm_runtime_get_noresume() for that as the callers of
device_link_add() who want the supplier to be resumed by it should
pass DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE in flags to it anyway.

Fixes: 21d5c57b3726 (PM / runtime: Use device links)

This is a replacement for commit 1e8378619841 (PM / runtime: Fixup
reference counting of device link suppliers at probe) that is going
to be reverted.
