From: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1eecc7ab82c42133b748e1895275942a054a7f67 ] Current driver has some asymmetry in the runtime PM calls. On lan78xx_open() it will call usb_autopm_get() and unconditionally usb_autopm_put(). And on lan78xx_stop() it will call only usb_autopm_put(). So far, it was working only because this driver do not activate autosuspend by default, so it was visible only by warning "Runtime PM usage count underflow!". Since, with current driver, we can't use runtime PM with active link, execute lan78xx_open()->usb_autopm_put() only in error case. Otherwise, keep ref counting high as long as interface is open.
