In dpm_resume() you shouldn't need to use dpm_list_mtx at all, because the list_move_tail() comes before the resume_device(). It's the same as in dpm_power_up(). The same is true for dpm_suspend(). Once all the device have been locked, there shouldn't be any other tasks accessing the dpm lists. Hence there should be no need to protect the list. Which reminds me, the kerneldoc for device_pm_schedule_removal() is inaccurate. The routine always just moves the device to dpm_destroy list for later processing. Also, the kerneldoc for destroy_suspended_device() should contain an extra paragraph warning that the routine should never be called except within the scope of a system sleep transition. In practice this means it has to be directly or indirectly invoked by a suspend or resume method. It looks good.
