[PATCH] i2c: designware-pci: fix autosuspend cleanup during teardown

From: Guangshuo Li

Date: Sun Aug 09 2026 - 03:33:29 EST


i2c_dw_pci_probe() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but
i2c_dw_pci_remove() does not call 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() call to the driver
remove path.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
