Yes, you're right. I made a wrong reasoning...

Yes, after some debug, it turns out "uvcvideo 3-1.1:1.1" created a new
"ep_81" when "ep_81" resumed

I tried the patch on 6.11.0-rc6, the warn is gone when I made following test:

1. open webcam (via obs, e.g.)
2. systemctl suspend
3. resume the system, and check kernel log

(Would it safe to walk the parent link without any device lock? and I still suggest moving
those code our of &dpm_list_mtx lock)

Thanks
