This is a direct consequence of not paying attention to the order of things. If driver were to assume that
pm_domain->activate()would do the right thing for the device -- meaning that probe would run with an active device --, then we wouldn't need thatpm_runtime_get()call on probe at all. Rather we would follow the sequence:pm_runtime_forbid() pm_runtime_set_active() pm_runtime_enable() /* do your probe routine */ pm_runtime_put_noidle()Quoted 2 lines
Then you remove you would need to call
pm_runtime_get_noresume()to balance out thepm_runtime_put_noidle()there.How about let's create some prettier interface for the above runtime PM trickery?
How about something like
pm_runtime_init_enabled()for the above sequence?

It might be then able to do the trick even if activate is not implemented..
Right now it has the feeling of "oh well we can't get runtime PM to work so let's bypass it with activate call and then trick runtime PM to start in enabled mode" :)
no strong feelings about that either way. It's only 3 lines of code anyway. I feel like that's a minor cosmetic change.

(If you need to know why the
pm_runtime_put_noidle(), remember thatpm_runtime_set_active()increments the usage counter, sopm_runtime_put_noidleis basically allowingpm_runtimeto happen as soon as userspace writes "auto" to/sys/..../power/control)I wonder if we could also remove the need for drivers to call
pm_runtime_putnoidle()at the end of the probe? If we hadpm_runtime_init_enabled()implemented.
probably not. We want to block runtime pm during probe, until the device is fully initialized, the only way to do that is to increment rpm usage counter.
