A warning message that was recently added to the PM core has alerted us to a potential problem in usb-storage. Although the USB interface is in the runtime active state when the probe routine starts, until the runtime-PM usage count is incremented nothing forces it to remain active. The increment doesn't happen until after scsi_add_host() is called, and that call causes the interface to go into runtime suspend. Although this hasn't caused anything to go wrong for anyone, as far as I know, it still is a bug. To prevent this from happening, move the existing call to usb_autopm_get_interface_no_resume() up from its current position to before scsi_add_host() is called.
