A simple
	return pm_runtime_put();
might do.

However, one question: Given that pm_runtime_put() returns -ENOSYS if
CONFIG_PM is disabled, that means the driver will depend on CONFIG_PM=y.
Assuming this is intentional, would it make sense to explicitly declare
that dependency in Kconfig ? It doesn't seem to make any sense to build
the driver if it won't work anyway.

Thanks,
Guenter
