Repetition: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1260551/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20200622024014.11347-1-dinghao.liu@xxxxxxxxxx/ pm_runtime_get_sync() increments the runtime PM usage counter even the call returns an error code. Thus a corresponding decrement is needed on the error handling path to keep the counter balanced. Fix this by adding the missed function call. How do you think about to avoid a wording weakness there (for example) besides other possible adjustments? Regards, Markus
