This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled serial: omap: fix runtime-pm handling on unbind to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-next branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 099bd73dc17ed77aa8c98323e043613b6e8f54fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2017 11:21:38 +0200 Subject: serial: omap: fix runtime-pm handling on unbind An unbalanced and misplaced synchronous put was used to suspend the device on driver unbind, something which with a likewise misplaced pm_runtime_disable leads to external aborts when an open port is being removed. Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1028) at 0xfa024010 ...

Also make sure to disable autosuspend before disabling runtime pm so that the usage count is balanced and device actually suspended before returning. Note that due to a negative autosuspend delay being set in probe, the unbalanced put would actually suspend the device on first driver unbind, while rebinding and again unbinding would result in a negative power.usage_count.
