[PATCH] drm/imx: dcss: fix autosuspend cleanup during teardown

From: Guangshuo Li

Date: Sat Aug 08 2026 - 08:33:19 EST


dcss_dev_create() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but
dcss_dev_destroy() does not call the matching
pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() before disabling runtime PM.

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 calling pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend()
during teardown, this reference is not dropped and usage_count remains
unbalanced.

The documentation for pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() also notes that it
is important to undo it with pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() at
driver exit time, unless runtime PM was initially enabled with
devm_pm_runtime_enable().

Add the missing pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() call before
disabling runtime PM during device teardown.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
