You're right. Although, in a case of this particular patch, the syncing
is actually implicitly done by pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend().

But for drivers which don't use auto-suspend, there is no sync. This
looks like a disaster, it's a very common pattern for drivers to
'put+disable'.

Right, this is also a disaster in a case of driver removal.

[adding Rafael]

Rafael, could you please explain how drivers are supposed to properly
suspend and disable RPM to cut off power and reset state that was
altered by the driver's resume callback? What we're missing? Is Ulf's
suggestion acceptable?

The RPM state of a device is getting reset on driver's removal, hence
all refcounts that were bumped by the rpm-resume callback of the device
driver will be screwed up if device is kept resumed after removal. I
just verified that it's true in practice.
