This breaks device's RPM refcounting if it was disabled in the
active
state. This code should be removed. At most you could warn
about the
unxpected RPM state here, but it shouldn't be necessary.
I guess this was added for safety and explicit suspend keeps clock
disabled.
Not sure if ref-counting of the device matters when runtime PM is
disabled and device is removed.
I see few drivers using this way.
It should matter (if I'm not missing something) because RPM should
be in
a wrecked state once you'll try to re-load the driver's module.
Likely
that those few other drivers are wrong.

[snip]
Once the driver is re-loaded and RPM is enabled, I don't think it
would use
the same 'dev' and the corresponding ref count. Doesn't it use the
new
counters?
If RPM is not working for some reason, most likely it would be the
case
for other
devices. What best driver can do is probably do a force suspend
during
removal if
already not done. I would prefer to keep, since multiple drivers
still
have it,
unless there is a real harm in doing so.
I took a closer look and looks like the counter actually should be
reset. Still I don't think that it's a good practice to make changes
underneath of RPM, it may strike back.
If RPM is broken, it probably would have been caught during device
usage.
I will remove explicit suspend here if no any concerns from other
folks.
Thanks.
I recall that this was the preferred way of doing this from the RPM
folks. Tegra30 I2S driver does the same and Stephen had pointed me to
this as a reference.
I believe that this is meant to ensure that the
device is always powered-off regardless of it RPM is enabled or not and
what the current state is.
Yes, it was kinda actual for the case of unavailable RPM.
Anyways, /I think/ variant like this should have been more preferred:

if (!pm_runtime_enabled(&pdev->dev))
          tegra210_i2s_runtime_suspend(&pdev->dev);
else
          pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev);
I think it looks to be similar to what is there already.

pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev); // it would turn out to be a dummy call
if !RPM
if (!pm_runtime_status_suspended(&pdev->dev)) // it is true always if !RPM
         tegra210_i2s_runtime_suspend(&pdev->dev);
Maybe this is fine for !RPM, but not really fine in a case of enabled
RPM. Device could be in resumed state after pm_runtime_disable() if it
wasn't suspended before the disabling.
I don't see any problem with this for the !RPM case.
Sorry I meant the RPM case. In other words, I don't see a problem for
neither the RPM case of the !RPM case.
1. Device shall be in RPM-suspended state at the time of driver's
removal, unless there is a bug in the sound driver. Hence why do you
need the dead code which doesn't bring any practical value?

2. Making changes underneath of RPM is simply error-prone. It may hit
badly in the future once something will change in the RPM core.

I think we are stretching a bit more here when there is no any real harm.
Right now it works well for both RPM and !RPM case and if we really need to
fix something in future we can fix. Since my initial inclination was keeping
the code as it is and Jon also has similar thoughts, I would retain this code.
Sorry Dmitry, we can fix if something comes up and many other drivers would
need this at that time.
