Re: [PATCH] media: coda: Fix runtime PM imbalance in coda_probe

[Philipp Zabel <pza@pengutronix.de>]

Hi Dinghao,

thank you for the patch! The first part is fine, but I think the second
part is not necessary, see below:

coda_probe() increments the usage counter only until coda_fw_callback()
decrements it again. Where is the imbalance?

These seem right, they balance out the pm_runtime_enable()
and pm_runtime_get_noresume() right before the error.

I think this is incorrect. There is one pm_runtime_get_noresume() in
coda_probe(), and one pm_runtime_put_sync() in coda_fw_callback().
By the time coda_remove() is called, balance is already restored.
