How do you think about a wording variant like the following? Change description: The PM runtime usage counter is incremented even if a call of the function “pm_runtime_get_sync” failed. Thus decrement it also in error cases so that the reference counting is kept consistent. Add also a call of the function “pm_runtime_get_noresume” in one if branch for the completion of the desired exception handling. Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the commit message?
