All these if (!pm_runtime_active()) then pm_runtime_get_sync() calls look like workaround for some larger issue. Shouldn't the pm_runtime do some refcounting on its own , so this shouldn't be needed ?


This problem purely comes from the driver internals, so I don't think it is a workaround.

Because of the "ltdc_crtc_mode_set_nofb" function which does not have any "symmetrical" call, such as enable/disable functions, there was two calls to pm_runtime_get_sync against one call to pm_runtime_put_sync.

This instability resulted in the LTDC clocks being always enabled, even when the peripheral was disabled. This could be seen in the clk_summary as explained in the patch summary among other things.

By doing so, we first check if the clocks are not already activated, and in that case we call pm_runtime_get_sync.

I just have to wonder, how come other drivers don't need these if (!pm_runtime_active()) pm_runtime_get_sync() conditions. I think they just get/put the runtime PM within a call itself, not across function calls. Maybe that could be the right fix here too ?
