Oh this is very good news, I'm glad this was resolved in crb!

Presumably the unbalanced put made the ref count go negative and the
balanced get caused it to go to zero, so pm locking was basically totally
broken? That would explain how an idle callback could run
concurrently with transmit_cmd.

Though a bit of a mystery why device_del had any impact? I'm still
very unclear exactly how the child device effects the parent - and
that seems like pretty important information going forward..

Thanks,
Jason
