This patch looks right with my limited understanding of pm_runtime. A
similar issue in this driver was fixed in commit

	ca162ce98110 ("pwm: img: Call pm_runtime_put() in pm_runtime_get_sync() failed case")

where (even though the commit log talks about pm_runtime_put()) a call
to pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() was added in the error path.

I added the PM guys to Cc, maybe they can advise about the right thing
to do here. Does it make sense to use the same idiom in both
img_pwm_enable() and img_pwm_config()?

Best regards
Uwe
