Get rid of the > pm_runtime_get_no_resume() and pm_runtime_put_sync() calls in > dd.c:__device_release_driver()? I think we need pm_runtime_barrier() in there. Otherwise we risk removing the driver while there's a runtime PM request pending. But we can move the pm_runtime_put_sync() before driver_sysfs_remove(). Would that help?
