Yes, it was kinda actual for the case of unavailable RPM. Anyways, /I think/ variant like this should have been more preferred: if (!pm_runtime_enabled(&pdev->dev)) tegra210_i2s_runtime_suspend(&pdev->dev); else pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev); > Now for Tegra210 (or actually 64-bit Tegra) RPM is always enabled and so > we don't need to worry about the !RPM case. However, I still don't see > the harm in this. There is no real harm today, but: 1. I'd prefer to be very careful with RPM in general, based on previous experience. 2. It should be a bug if device isn't RPM-suspended during of driver's removal. Thus the real problem needs to be fixed rather than worked around.
