Please avoid a typo in the patch subject (by a possible alternative?). > Call to pm_runtime_get_sync increments counter even in case of > failure leading to incorrect ref count. > Call pm_runtime_put if pm_runtime_get_sync fails. How do you think about a wording variant like the following? Change description: The PM runtime reference counter is generally incremented by a call of the function “pm_runtime_get_sync”. Thus call the function “pm_runtime_put” also in one error case to keep the reference counting consistent. Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the commit message? Regards, Markus
