OK, but what about writing "ODD (Optical Disk Drive)" in the changelog?
People reading git logs may not know all of the hardware acronyms and the
"0" message doesn't go into the git log. :-)

So I'd just write that directly in the changelog.

I suppose you mean the runtime PM status and usage counter? I.e. the "software
state"?

Please put that information into the changelog too.

OK, so suppose the condition is true and we do the _noidle() put. Who's
going to suspend the device in that case if no one actually uses the device?

I'm not quite convinced this is the right approach here.
So if you set it to 5 s this way, the user space will have no idea that
the polling happens less often than it thinks, or am I misunderstanding
what you said above?
Moreover, what about changing the code so that the polling doesn't
actually resume the device?

Yes, I agree. Only the comment wording can better reflect what really
happens here (runtime PM is not disabled, in particular).
