| |
Hi Linux-PM,
both in the I2C subsystem and also for Renesas drivers I maintain, I am starting to get boilerplate patches doing some pm_runtime_put_* variant because a failing pm_runtime_get is supposed to increase the ref counters? Really? This feels wrong and unintuitive to me. I expect there has been a discussion around it but I couldn't find it. I wonder why we don't fix the code where the incremented refcount is expected for some reason.
Can I have some pointers please?
Thanks,
Wolfram
