[PATCH] media: i2c: ov2735: fix power cleanup on remove

From: Guangshuo Li

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 06:07:03 EST


ov2735_probe() explicitly powers on the sensor before enabling runtime
PM. The probe failure paths call ov2735_power_off(), but the remove path
does not perform the corresponding power-off operation.

The managed runtime PM helpers only clean up the runtime PM state.
devm_pm_runtime_set_active_enabled() disables runtime PM and restores
the suspended state during device resource release, while
devm_pm_runtime_get_noresume() drops the runtime PM usage reference.
Neither helper invokes ov2735_power_off().

As a result, removing the driver after a successful probe can leave the
sensor clock and regulators enabled and the GPIOs in the powered state.

Call ov2735_power_off() from ov2735_remove() to match the successful
ov2735_power_on() performed during probe.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
