But doesn't that assume that we have musb core as in musb->controller
in RPM_ACTIVE state? While if it's been suspended that's not the
case meaning rpm_resume would fail?

If we have a window for a race there with RPM_ACTIVE set, we could
add musb->is_disabled flag that gets set in musb_suspend().

Hmm care to explain a bit more? That is assuming that rpm_resume()
won't fail above.. And that using musb->is_disabled flag won't
work..

It's probably safest to return an error for cases like that rather
than attempt to do something and risk corrupting packets. I'll move
the check to happen earlier musb_gadget_queue() so we don't do
anything with the request if pm_runtime_get() fails there. That
should make it easy to add further handling if we ever start really
hitting that issue.

OK, will remove that like you suggested.

Will do and move it earlier to bail out before doing anything
with the request.
