[PATCH 1/7] soundwire: bus: Do not forcibly disable child pm_runtime

[Richard Fitzgerald]

Do not call pm_runtime_disable() of a child driver in
sdw_delete_slave(). We really should never be trying to disable
another driver's pm_runtime - it is up to the child driver to
disable it or the core driver framework cleanup. The driver core
will runtime-resume a driver before calling its remove() so we
shouldn't break that.

The patch that introduced this is
commit dff70572e9a3 ("soundwire: bus: disable pm_runtime in sdw_slave_delete")
which says:

"prevent any race condition with the resume being executed after the
bus and slave devices are removed"

The actual problem is that the bus driver is shutting itself down before
the child drivers have been removed, which is the wrong way around (see
for example I2C and SPI drivers). If this is fixed, the bus driver will
still be operational when the driver framework runtime_resumes the child
drivers to remove them. Then the bus driver will remove() and can shut
down safely.

Also note that the child drivers are not necessarily idle when the bus
driver is removed, so disabling their pm_runtime and stopping the bus
might break more than only their remove().
