How do you think about a wording variant like the following?

   Change description:
   The PM runtime usage counter is incremented even if a call of
   the function “pm_runtime_get_sync” failed. Thus decrement it also
   in an error case so that the reference counting is kept consistent.


Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the commit message?


Can it make sense to combine the software adjustment with the
update step “media: exynos4-is: Fix runtime PM imbalance in fimc_is_probe”?

Is there a need to use a label like “put_pm”?
