Since I saw this email...

First of all, it's easy just to go patch-by-patch and see if it helps.
Or simple bisect among 24 commits (4 iterations only).

Second, it seems that we are using autosuspend but we don't prevent
the PM to go down during the ->probe(). So, a WA can be to take a reference
count preventing PM from going down.

->remove, for instance, uses RPM get/put calls.
