Actually I think we have the opposite problem. To be honest we don't 
handle this situation very well. By the time panfrost_job_hw_submit() is 
called the job has already been added to the pfdev->jobs array, so it's 
considered submitted even if it never actually lands on the hardware. So 
in the case of this function bailing out early we will then (eventually) 
hit a timeout and trigger a GPU reset.

panfrost_job_timedout() iterates through the pfdev->jobs array and calls 
pm_runtime_put_noidle() for each job it finds. So there's no inbalance 
here that I can see.

Have you actually observed the situation where pm_runtime_get_sync() 
returns a failure?

HOWEVER, it appears that by bailing out early the call to 
panfrost_devfreq_record_busy() is never made, which as far as I can see 
means that there may be an extra call to panfrost_devfreq_record_idle() 
when the jobs have timed out. Which could underflow the counter.

But equally looking at panfrost_job_timedout(), we only call 
panfrost_devfreq_record_idle() *once* even though multiple jobs might be 
processed.

There's a completely untested patch below which in theory should fix that...
