Both of the two functions are OK, the difference is that, when pm_runtime_put_sync failed(runtime of the device has error, the device is in Inaccessible state or other error state...), it only increase the usage count of the power, and do nothing else. We merely need call pm_runtime_put_noidle to decrease the usage count. If we call pm_runtime_put_sync to reset it, it will notify device bus type if the device can be suspended, and that is meanless when pm_runtime_put_sync failed.
Thanks, best wish!
