OK, you have a point. After calling pm_runtime_forbid() the driver should allow user space to unblock runtime PM for the device - or call pm_runtime_allow() itself.

But I don't quite see why that will be the case. rpm_resume() will still be called and it doesn't look at the usage counter. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
