Yes.  This is why I have said twice or three times to not change
pm_runtime_get_sync() but instead to write a replacement.

A large percent of the callers are buggy.  The pm_runtime_get_sync() is
a -4 on Rusty's API scale.

One could argue that anything above a -4 is really a 2 if you read
the implementation thouroughly enough...
