This is a very surprising behavior and I wonder if this should be fixed in the PM core (or the required cleanup steps need to be called out in the function description). I also see that a few drivers that handle this situation correctly (?) call pm_runtime_put_noidle() instead of pm_runtime_put_sync() in the error path. Rafael, do you have any guidance here?
