[PATCH] drm/lima: fix autosuspend cleanup during teardown

From: Guangshuo Li

Date: Sat Aug 08 2026 - 09:02:57 EST


lima_pdev_probe() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but its failure
path does not call the matching pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend()
before disabling runtime PM. The remove path has the same issue.

In particular, lima_pdev_remove() explicitly sets the autosuspend
delay to -1 while autosuspend is still enabled. A negative autosuspend
delay can increase usage_count to prevent runtime suspend. Without
calling pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend(), this reference is not
dropped before runtime PM is disabled, leaving usage_count unbalanced.

The documentation for pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() also notes that it
is important to undo it with pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() at
driver exit time, unless runtime PM was initially enabled with
devm_pm_runtime_enable().

Add the missing pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() calls to the probe
failure and remove paths.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
