Yes, it is. > And another case is when user called pm_runtime_set_status to clear the runtime_error after dev->power.runtime_error > is set during pm_runtime_get_sync(), the runtime_resume/suspend() can be tried again? But the dev->power.usage_count is still wrong? If you clear runtime_error using pm_runtime_set_status(), you can correct the reference counter as well. But I agree that with runtime PM disabled it is actually useful to keep the reference counter balanced appropriately so that you don't need to special case that. All depends on how runtime PM is used in the given piece of code. That's why I didn't comment your other patches. That said, I didn't look at them in detail either.
