Re: [PATCH] gpio: arizona: put pm_runtime in case of failure

[Markus Elfring <Markus.Elfring@web.de>]

I recommend to replace the word “pm_runtime” by the
alternative “PM run time system” in the patch subject.

Should the term “reference count” be used here?


> Call pm_runtime_put if pm_runtime_get_sync fails.

The diff hunks show an other function name.

You propose to use identical statements in three if branches.
Please add a corresponding jump target for better exception handling.

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


I find it amazing how many questionable implementation details
you pointed out recently.
Were these contributions triggered by an evolving source code analysis
tool like CheQ?
