This message comes from tegra_xusb_load_firmware() in
tegra_xusb_probe() which is after the pm_runtime_get_sync().

If the device was PM-runtime-suspended before, the
pm_runtime_get_sync() will runtime-resume and reference-count the
suppliers in addition to resuming the device.  In that case
pm_runtime_put_suppliers() will suspend the suppliers, so there is a
bug in there.

What happens is that the links are new when pm_runtime_get_sync() runs
and so their rpm_active refcounts are one.  After the
pm_runtime_get_sync() they are two and pm_runtime_put_suppliers() will
drop them by one and drop the PM-runtime usage counter of each of them
by one, so they will become zero and the suppliers will suspend.

Passing DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE to device_link_add() should help, but IMO
things should also work without that.

This comes from usb_add_hcd()

Like this.

And this if from xhci_gen_setup(), so probe returns around this point.

And this appears to be done by pm_runtime_put_suppliers().

Hmm, I need to think how to fix this.  Maybe we'll need to revert
$subject patch and do something else, we'll see (later today).
