Thanks for the notice. It's been through Intel CI and tests on a few local machines, maybe we haven't checked carefully those errors but only concentrated on the other issues, as it seems. There were two problems: one was the runtime PM being kicked off even during the PCI driver remove call, and another was the proper runtime PM setup after re-binding. For avoiding the former, only the pm_runtime_forbid() (and maybe pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend(), too) would suffice? Also, for PCI device, no need for pm_runtime_set_supended() at remove, right? thanks, Takashi
