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.
