In that case, pm_runtime_resume() should be used. Of course, for this purpose the device's runtime PM has to be enabled earlier by calling pm_runtime_enable(). +Note, if the device may execute pm_runtime calls during the probe (such as +if it is registers with a subsystem that may call back in) then the +pm_runtime_get_sync() call paired with a pm_runtime_put() call will be +appropriate to ensure that the device is not put back to sleep during the +probe. This can happen with systems such as the network device layer. + It may be desirable to suspend the device once ->probe() has finished. Therefore the driver core uses the asyncronous pm_request_idle() to submit a request to execute the subsystem-level idle callback for the device at that |
