[PATCH 1/6] remoteproc: imx_rproc: Fix runtime PM cleanup order and error handling

[PATCH 1/6] remoteproc: imx_rproc: Fix runtime PM cleanup order and error handling
Posted by Peng Fan 4 months, 3 weeks ago 
The order of runtime PM API calls in the remove path is wrong.
pm_runtime_put() should be called before pm_runtime_disable(), per the
runtime PM guidelines. Calling pm_runtime_disable() prematurely can
lead to incorrect reference counting and improper device suspend behavior.

Additionally, proper cleanup should be done when rproc_add() fails by
invoking both pm_runtime_put() and pm_runtime_disable() to avoid leaving
the device in an inconsistent power state.

With using devm_pm_runtime_enable() for automatic resource management and
introducing a devres-managed cleanup action imx_rproc_pm_runtime_put() to
enforce correct PM API usage and simplify error paths, the upper two
issues could be fixed. Also print out error log in case of error.

Where is this mentioned?  I have looked in [1] and couldn't find anything.

Per this API says:
int pm_runtime_disable(struct device *dev);`
- increment the device's 'power.disable_depth' field (if the value of that
  field was previously zero, this prevents subsystem-level runtime PM
  callbacks from being run for the device), make sure that all of the
  pending runtime PM operations on the device are either completed or
  canceled;

This implies that pm_runtime_put() should be called before pm_runtime_disable().

Thanks,
Peng
