I have ever thought to fix fix pm_runtime_get_sync, then I went to read the comment on this function, and found that this is what the author intended to do(comment: The possible return values of this function are the same as for pm_runtime_resume() and the runtime PM usage counter of @dev remains incremented in all cases, even if it returns an error code). On the other hand, I found that the number of callers that getting this right is much bigger than getting this wrong even many callers get wrong. So I submit server patches to fix them as I could.
Thanks, best wish!
