From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1e42f82cbec7b2cc4873751e7791e6611901c5fc ] It's not allowed to quit remove early without cleaning up completely. Otherwise this results in resource leaks that probably yield graver problems later. Here for example some tasklets might survive the lifetime of the sprd-dma device and access sdev which is freed after .remove() returns. As none of the device freeing requires an active device, just ignore the return value of pm_runtime_get_sync().
