I am not sure this works, sorry.
More precisely, I don't think there is a guarantee that the calls to
pm_runtime_get|put*() becomes properly balanced. In principle
memstick_detect_change() could be called, without actually causing a
new work to be scheduled if there is already such a work in the queue
(depends on the workqueue configuration). Isn't it so?
Kind regards
Uffe
