[PATCH v4 02/31] accel: ethosu: Ensure suspended on removal

From: Rob Herring (Arm)

Date: Thu Oct 29 2026 - 09:39:45 EST


If device removal occurs before an auto-suspend timeout occurs, the
suspend is cancelled and the device will be left with clocks running.
Make the remove() callback check this and force a suspend if the device
is currently active.

Fixes: 5a5e9c0228e6 ("accel: Add Arm Ethos-U NPU driver")

v4:
- Use pm_runtime_barrier() and call ethosu_device_suspend() directly.
This works in the case of !CONFIG_PM or power/control=on whereas
pm_runtime_get_if_active() did not.

v3:
- New patch
