Right.

Yes, there may be a few places where the parent of the device is
erroneously not runtime resumed when sysfs files are accessed.
I've never used the sysfs mmap feature, so never witnessed issues
with it.

I assume with PCI core config accessors you're referring to
pci_read_config_word() and friends?  Those are arguably hotpaths
where we wouldn't want the overhead to check runtime PM status
everytime.  They might also be called from atomic context, I'm
not sure, and the runtime PM callbacks may sleep by default
(unless pm_runtime_irq_safe() was called).

Thanks for spotting this, it's a remnant of an earlier version of the
patch which called pci_dev_put(gpu) in the (PCI_FUNC(hda->devfn) != 1)
case.

Best regards,
