Thank you. It would also be nice if you could find out what causes the PM runtime work queue to suspend the device. pm_runtime_resume() is documented as being the function to call at probe time. I'd like to know whether the problem comes from the PM runtime core itself, in which case the documentation should be updated or the PM runtime core should be fixed, or from operations performed by the sh-eth driver, in which case we might need a different fix in the driver. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
