A side topic, maybe a little bit silly question (I don't know that
much about net core):
Why not increase the parent or current PM runtime usage counter
instead? The problem with calling pm_runtime_resume() is that if the
parent device was already suspended (so it's usage counter ==0), it
might get suspended right after this call. IOW, you do not have any
guarantee that the device will be really resumed. Probably it should
be pm_runtime_resume_and_get() (and later "put" on close or other
events). This however might not solve the lock problem at all.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
