* Can the term “reference count” become relevant also for this commit message
  besides other possible adjustments?

* Can it be nicer to combine proposed updates for this software module
  as a patch series (with a cover letter)?

* Would you like to add the tag “Fixes”?

* Perhaps use the label “put_runtime” instead?

* Do you propose to perform an additional function call always
  (and not only according to failure cases)?

* How do you think about calling the function “pm_runtime_put_noidle”?
