No, I don't, and that's why I'm proposing this patch.
The caller that does what you said above is OK now and if the behavior
of pm_runtime_get_sync() changed, that caller would need to be
updated.
OTOH, a caller that fails to drop the reference on an error returned
by pm_runtime_get_sync() is buggy (and has ever been so).
I'd rather update the buggy callers than the ones that are OK.
Thanks!
