While looking at this file for an unrelated issue, I happen to notice there is a double locking on mhi_cntrl->pm_lock in the mhi_device_put() when it gets called from mhi_driver_remove() The other two calls from mhi_driver_probe() don't hold the pm_lock. In addition, lock holding while dev_wake updates is inconsistent. dev_wake gets incremented and decremented without holding pm_lock in mhi_device_get(), mhi_device_get_sync() and mhi_device_put(). Exception are when mhi_device_put() is called from mhi_driver_remove(). The following commit is where all this code is added. bus: mhi: core: Add support for data transfer https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/189ff97cca53e3fe2d8b38d64105040ce17fc62d It appears to be real problem. I don't have a way to test this driver, hence reaching out to let you know about my findings. thanks, -- Shuah
