Yes there is the interconnect target module device as the parent with runtime PM enabled. So the sdhci-omap driver needs the parent enabled. > In other cases, it should be fine to use pm_runtime_set_active() > during ->probe(). Yup, this can't be done here though AFAIK.

But, let's finalize > the discussion above first (apologize for the delay). OK. Should we apply the $subject patch to fix the splat meanwhile though? Seems like what you're suggesting may take some more discussion on the mailing lists. Regrads, Tony
