It feels weird to schedule a reset if the device is suspended, because
a suspend/resume cycle already acts as a reset. Any particular reason
you'd want to do that? If not, I'd suggest going for:

	if (ret <= 0)
		return ret;

	panfrost_device_schedule_reset(pfdev);
	pm_runtime_put(pfdev->base.dev);
	return 0;
