This allows pm_runtime_disable() to handle reference count cleanup\ncorrectly regardless of current suspend state.\n\nThe driver calls pm_runtime_put_sync() unconditionally in remove, but the\ndevice may already be suspended due to autosuspend configured in probe.\nWhen autosuspend has already suspended the device, the usage count is 0,\nand pm_runtime_put_sync() decrements it to -1.\n\nThis causes the following warning on module unload:\n\n  ------------[ cut here ]------------\n  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 963 at kernel/kthread.c:1430\n    kthread_destroy_worker+0x84/0x98\n  ...\n  vdec 30210000.video-codec: Runtime PM usage count underflow!","published":"2026-05-08T14:16:37.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T10:49:20.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-191"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00121,"percentile":0.01879,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.12%).
