[PATCH] drm/panfrost: fix autosuspend cleanup during teardown
From: Guangshuo Li
Date: Sat Aug 08 2026 - 09:52:53 EST
panfrost_probe() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but neither the
probe error path nor panfrost_remove() calls the matching
pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() during teardown.
If the autosuspend delay is set to a negative value while autosuspend
is enabled, the runtime PM core increments usage_count to prevent
runtime suspend. Without calling pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend()
during teardown, this reference is not dropped.
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 both the
probe failure and device removal paths.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.
