Hence patch 6/9 that issues a warning if pm+AF8-request+AF8-resume() would +AD4- +AD4- be called. +AD4- +AD4- It is introduced by your patch, please see blk+AF8-pm+AF8-allow+AF8-request(). Did you perhaps misread my patch? Please have a look at commit c8158819d506 (+ACI-block: implement runtime pm strategy+ACI-). I think that commit from 2013 introduced the pm+AF8-request+AF8-resume() call in blk+AF8-pm+AF8-add+AF8-request(). By the way, if you would like to see that call removed, I'm fine with removing that call. Thanks, Bart.
