From: Merlijn Wajer <merlijn@xxxxxxxxxx> commit df6b074dbe248d8c43a82131e8fd429e401841a5 upstream. Without pm_runtime_{get,put}_sync calls in place, reading vbus status via /sys causes the following error: Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1028) at 0xfa0ab060 pgd = b333e822 [fa0ab060] *pgd=48011452(bad) [<c05261b0>] (musb_default_readb) from [<c0525bd0>] (musb_vbus_show+0x58/0xe4) [<c0525bd0>] (musb_vbus_show) from [<c04c0148>] (dev_attr_show+0x20/0x44) [<c04c0148>] (dev_attr_show) from [<c0259f74>] (sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x80/0xdc) [<c0259f74>] (sysfs_kf_seq_show) from [<c0210bac>] (seq_read+0x250/0x448) [<c0210bac>] (seq_read) from [<c01edb40>] (__vfs_read+0x1c/0x118) [<c01edb40>] (__vfs_read) from [<c01edccc>] (vfs_read+0x90/0x144) [<c01edccc>] (vfs_read) from [<c01ee1d0>] (SyS_read+0x3c/0x74) [<c01ee1d0>] (SyS_read) from [<c0106fe0>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x54) Solution was suggested by Tony Lindgren <tony@xxxxxxxxxxx>.
