[PATCH net v2 1/4] net: pcs: xpcs-plat: fix runtime PM initialization

From: Coia Prant

Date: Fri Oct 23 2026 - 03:57:37 EST


The driver calls pm_runtime_set_active() before runtime PM is enabled and
before the CSR clock is prepared and enabled. If the device is later
suspended (e.g. during unbind), the runtime suspend callback tries to
disable a clock that was never enabled, producing:

clk_csr already disabled
clk_csr already unprepared

Set the initial runtime PM status to suspended instead, and register a
devm action that force-suspends the device on teardown. Without that
action the CSR clock would stay enabled if the driver is removed while
runtime-active, since nothing triggers a runtime suspend on unbind.
pm_runtime_force_suspend() is not checked because the runtime suspend
callback cannot fail.

The clock is enabled on the first runtime resume (e.g. during MDIO
access).

No upstream platform currently enables this driver with a real CSR clock
dependency, so the issue is not reachable in mainline today. It was
found while using this driver as a reference for the Rockchip XPCS glue
driver.
