I'm busy right now for testing something on my N900...

Yes, you *must* check return value of pm_runtime_get_sync! Otherwise we
can get another oops/kernel panic. See similar commits:

f7b2b5dd6a62a47e871627c71ed01aa3482154d9
604c31039dae4653f33003d08c91ef58b70b5e63

Anyway, what do you think about adding gcc macro for pm_runtime_get_sync
function which report compiler warning when return value is not checked?
