[PATCH v2 2/2] regulator: fp9931: Fix Runtime PM usage count underflow in v3p3 ops

From: robby . cai

Date: Fri Jul 24 2026 - 06:46:40 EST


From: Robby Cai <robby.cai@xxxxxxx>

The fp9931_v3p3_enable() callback acquires a Runtime PM reference which
remains held until fp9931_v3p3_disable() releases it.

Device-level Runtime PM lifetime is also managed through the shared
VCOM enable path: fp9931_set_enable() acquires a reference and
fp9931_clear_enable() releases it.

As a result, the Runtime PM usage count may already have reached 0
before fp9931_v3p3_disable() is invoked. In that case,
fp9931_v3p3_disable() calls pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() on an
already-zero count, triggering:

fp9931 1-0018: Runtime PM usage count underflow!

Holding a Runtime PM reference across the V3P3 regulator lifetime is
unnecessary. V3P3 only needs the device to be runtime-active for the
duration of the register access.

Fix this by scoping the Runtime PM reference lifetime to the register
access itself, pairing pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and
pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() within each callback.
