In current runtime PM implementation, the active child count of the parent device may be decreased if the runtime PM of the child device is disabled and forbidden. For example, to unbind a PCI driver with a PCI device, the following code path is possible:
pci_device_remove pm_runtime_set_suspended __pm_runtime_set_status atomic_add_unless(&parent->power.child_count, -1, 0) That is, the parent device may be suspended, even if the runtime PM of child device is forbidden to be suspended. This violate the rule that parent is allowed to be suspended only after all its children are suspended, and may cause issue. This issue is fixed via checking the usage count of the child device because if the runtime PM of the child device is forbidden, the usage_count of the child device will be non-zero.
