So you have not mentioned here why you are using _noidle and not _put. Furthermore, in this patch [0] you are not using _noidle to fix the same problem in another driver. We should fix this in a consistent manner across all drivers, otherwise it leads to more confusion. Finally, Rafael mentions we should just use _put [0] and so I think we should follow his recommendation. Jon [0] https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/21/601 -- nvpublic
