Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/3] clk: qcom: lpass-sc7280: Fix pm_runtime usage

Quoting Douglas Anderson (2022-11-04 06:56:28)
> The pm_runtime usage in lpass-sc7280 was broken in quite a few
> ways. Specifically:
>
> 1. At the end of probe it called "put" twice. This is a no-no and will
>    end us up with a negative usage count. Even worse than calling
>    "put" twice, it never called "get" once. Thus after bootup it could
>    be seen that the runtime usage of the devices managed by this
>    driver was -2.
> 2. In some error cases it manually called pm_runtime_disable() even
>    though it had previously used devm_add_action_or_reset() to set
>    this up to be called automatically. This meant that in these error
>    cases we'd double-call pm_runtime_disable().
> 3. It forgot to call undo pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), which can
>    sometimes have subtle problems (and the docs specifically mention
>    that you need to undo this function).
