For almost everybody, except for a small bunch of drivers that actually have a .runtime_idle() callback, pm_runtime_put() is literally equivalent to pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(). So really the question is why anyone who doesn't provide a .runtime_idle() callback bothers with using this special pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() thing, which really means "do a runtime_put(), but skip my .runtime_idle() callback". > > > > > > > > Moreover, it's similar for pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(), it's called > > > during rpm_resume() too, for example.

What really is needed appears to be a combination of pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() with pm_runtime_put(). Granted, pm_runtime_put() could do the pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() thing automatically if autosuspend is enabled and the only consequence of it might be delaying a suspend of the device until its autosuspend timer expires, which should not be a problem in the vast majority of cases. _______________________________________________ greybus-dev mailing list -- greybus-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to greybus-dev-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
