If the device is already in a runtime PM enabled state pm_runtime_get_sync() will return 1, so a test for negative value should be used to check for errors. Without this patch there are seen errors like: [ 8.540000] s3c64xx-spi 13930000.spi: Failed to enable device: 1 [ 8.545000] spi_master spi1: failed to prepare transfer hardware Likely because the driver uses synchronous API to runtime enable the device and asynchronous one to disable it.
