Is rtl8152_runtime_resume() called? I don't see the name in the trace.

I guess the relative API in rtl8152_runtime_resume() are
		ops->disable		= rtl8153_disable;
		ops->autosuspend_en	= rtl8153_runtime_enable;

And I don't find any possible dead lock in rtl8152_runtime_resume().

Besides, I find a similar issue as following.
