> Subject: [PATCH v2] PM / core: Fix supplier device runtime PM usage counter
> imbalance
>
> If a device link is added via device_link_add() by the driver of the
> link's consumer device, the supplier's runtime PM usage counter is
> going to be dropped by the pm_runtime_put_suppliers() call in
> driver_probe_device(). However, in that case it is not incremented
> unless the supplier driver is already present and the link is not
> stateless. That leads to a runtime PM usage counter imbalance for
> the supplier device in a few cases.
>
> To prevent that from happening, bump up the supplier runtime
> PM usage counter in device_link_add() for all links with the
> DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME flag set that are added at the consumer probe
> time. Use pm_runtime_get_noresume() for that as the callers of
> device_link_add() who want the supplier to be resumed by it are
> expected to pass DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE in flags to it anyway, but
> additionally resume the supplier if the link is added during
> consumer driver probe to retain the existing behavior for the
> callers depending on it.
