[PATCH v4 2/4] phy: qcom: qmp-usbc: Prevent unnecessary PM runtime suspend at boot
From: Loic Poulain
Date: Mon Jul 20 2026 - 11:15:36 EST
Runtime PM has to be enabled before creating the PHYs, since phy_create()
only enables runtime PM on the PHY devices if it is already enabled on
this parent device. This opens a small window where the device can be
runtime suspended after pm_runtime_enable() and before the later
pm_runtime_forbid(), causing an unnecessary suspend/resume cycle while
the PHYs are not yet registered.
Take a runtime PM usage reference with pm_runtime_get_noresume() before
enabling runtime PM and release it once the PHYs have been created to
prevent the device from being runtime suspended during that window.
