[PATCH] hwrng: starfive: fix runtime PM autosuspend cleanup

From: Guangshuo Li

Date: Sat Aug 08 2026 - 03:25:49 EST


starfive_trng_probe() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but runtime
PM is enabled with pm_runtime_enable() without a corresponding
pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() during driver teardown.

If the autosuspend delay is set to a negative value while autosuspend
is enabled, the runtime PM core increments usage_count to prevent
runtime suspend. Without undoing the autosuspend setting during
teardown, this reference can remain unbalanced.

Use devm_pm_runtime_enable() so that runtime PM and the autosuspend
setting are automatically cleaned up on probe failure and device
removal. Remove the explicit pm_runtime_disable() from the hwrng
registration failure path since the managed cleanup handles it.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
