[PATCH] hwmon: (gpio-fan) fix pm_runtime imbalance for alarm-only fans

[PATCH] hwmon: (gpio-fan) fix pm_runtime imbalance for alarm-only fans

[Cong Nguyen]

pm_runtime_enable() runs unconditionally at the end of probe, but the
devm action that calls pm_runtime_disable() is registered only when
control GPIOs are present. An alarm-only fan (no control GPIOs, alarm
GPIO optional) is a valid DT configuration; on unbind the runtime PM
core warns about the missing disable.

Use devm_pm_runtime_enable() so disable is automatic on device release,
and drop the redundant pm_runtime_disable() from gpio_fan_stop().

[PATCH v2] hwmon: (gpio-fan) fix pm_runtime imbalance for alarm-only fans

[Cong Nguyen]

pm_runtime_enable() runs unconditionally in probe, but the devm cleanup
that calls pm_runtime_disable() is only registered when control GPIOs
are present. Alarm-only fans never get it, so unbind warns about the
missing disable.

Switch to devm_pm_runtime_enable(), registered before gpio_fan_stop()'s
devm action so LIFO teardown runs gpio_fan_stop() first. gpio_fan_stop()
calls set_fan_speed(0) -> pm_runtime_put_sync(), which needs PM still
enabled to reach gpio_fan_runtime_suspend() and turn the regulator off;
registering enable after gpio_fan_stop() (as v1 did) reverses that order
and leaves the regulator on.

Changes in v2:
- v1's devm_pm_runtime_enable() was registered after gpio_fan_stop()'s
  devm action, reversing LIFO teardown order and leaving the regulator
  enabled on unbind (Guenter/Sashiko). Moved it earlier so gpio_fan_stop()
  registers first.

Another instance of a new patch version sent as reply to a previous
version.

It is against guidance in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst,
yet it proliferates, and more and more people send new patch revisions
this way. Where is this suggested ?

Thanks,
Guenter
