It's really just a micro-optimization. The thing is: if I call pm_runtime_put(), I will not reinitialize the pm timer to whatever timeout value I used. This means that pm_runtime_put() could actually execute right away (if timer was about to expire when I called pm_runtime_put()). While this wouldn't cause any issues, it's better to reinitialize the timer and make sure if there's another read/write/set_termios/whatever coming right after this, UART is still powered up. I mean, it's really just trying to avoid context save & restore when UART is still under heavy usage. Does it make sense ? -- balbi
