pm_runtime_get_sync() increases the device's usage count even when reporting an error, so add a call to pm_runtime_put_noidle() in the related error branches. Fixes: 588eb93ea49f ("i2c: imx: add runtime pm support to improve the performance") Signed-off-by: Tobias Jordan <Tobias.Jordan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- In i2c_imx_xfer(), one could also move the "out" label up (in front of the call to pm_runtime_put_autosuspend()), but I'm not sure what the underlying error scenario is; calling _put_noidle() seems to be the safer bet. This is one of a number of patches for problems found using coccinelle scripting in the SIL2LinuxMP project. The patch has been compile-tested; it's based on linux-next-20180223.
