no strong feelings about that either way. It's only 3 lines of code anyway. I feel like that's a minor cosmetic change. >> (If you need to know why the pm_runtime_put_noidle(), remember that >> pm_runtime_set_active() increments the usage counter, so >> pm_runtime_put_noidle is basically allowing pm_runtime to happen as soon >> as userspace writes "auto" to /sys/..../power/control) > > I wonder if we could also remove the need for drivers to call > pm_runtime_putnoidle() at the end of the probe? If we had > pm_runtime_init_enabled() implemented. probably not. We want to block runtime pm during probe, until the device is fully initialized, the only way to do that is to increment rpm usage counter. -- balbi
