[PATCH v2] hwmon: (gpio-fan) fix pm_runtime imbalance for alarm-only fans
From: Cong Nguyen
Date: Sun Aug 30 2026 - 11:05:29 EST
pm_runtime_enable() runs unconditionally in probe, but the devm cleanup
that calls pm_runtime_disable() is only registered when control GPIOs
are present. Alarm-only fans never get it, so unbind warns about the
missing disable.
Switch to devm_pm_runtime_enable(), registered before gpio_fan_stop()'s
devm action so LIFO teardown runs gpio_fan_stop() first. gpio_fan_stop()
calls set_fan_speed(0) -> pm_runtime_put_sync(), which needs PM still
enabled to reach gpio_fan_runtime_suspend() and turn the regulator off;
registering enable after gpio_fan_stop() (as v1 did) reverses that order
and leaves the regulator on.

Changes in v2:
- v1's devm_pm_runtime_enable() was registered after gpio_fan_stop()'s
devm action, reversing LIFO teardown order and leaving the regulator
enabled on unbind (Guenter/Sashiko). Moved it earlier so gpio_fan_stop()
registers first.
