Subject: [PATCH] pmdomain: core: Fix detach procedure for virtual devices in
 genpd

If a device is attached to a PM domain through genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id(),
genpd calls pm_runtime_enable() for the corresponding virtual device that
it registers. While this avoids boilerplate code in drivers, there is no
corresponding call to pm_runtime_disable() in genpd_dev_pm_detach().

This means these virtual devices are typically detached from its genpd,
while runtime PM remains enabled for them, which is not how things are
designed to work. In worst cases it may lead to critical errors, like a
NULL pointer dereference bug in genpd_runtime_suspend(), which was recently
reported. For another case, we may end up keeping an unnecessary vote for a
performance state for the device.

To fix these problems, let's add this missing call to pm_runtime_disable()
in genpd_dev_pm_detach().

[PATCH 5.15.y] pmdomain: core: Fix detach procedure for virtual devices in genpd

[Sasha Levin]

[ Upstream commit 26735dfdd8930d9ef1fa92e590a9bf77726efdf6 ]

If a device is attached to a PM domain through genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id(),
genpd calls pm_runtime_enable() for the corresponding virtual device that
