PM / Runtime: Update documentation regarding driver removal
Commit e1866b33b1
(PM / Runtime: Rework
runtime PM handling during driver removal) forgot to update the
documentation in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt to match the new
code in drivers/base/dd.c. Update that documentation to match the
code it describes.

they will fail returning -EAGAIN, because the device's usage counter is

incremented by the core before executing ->probe() and ->remove(). Still, it

may be desirable to suspend the device as soon as ->probe() or ->remove() has

|

core uses pm_runtime_put_sync() to invoke the subsystem-level idle callback for

the device at that time.
|

|

Moreover, the driver core prevents runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus
|
||||
notifier callback in __device_release_driver(), which is necessary, because the
|
||||
notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out operations affecting the
|
||||
runtime PM functionality. It does so by calling pm_runtime_get_sync() before
|
||||
driver_sysfs_remove() and the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER notifications. This
|
||||
resumes the device if it's in the suspended state and prevents it from
|
||||
being suspended again while those routines are being executed.
|
||||
|
||||
To allow bus types and drivers to put devices into the suspended state by
|
||||
calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines, the driver core
|
||||
executes pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER
|
||||
notifications in __device_release_driver(). This requires bus types and
|
||||
drivers to make their ->remove() callbacks avoid races with runtime PM directly,
|
||||
but also it allows of more flexibility in the handling of devices during the
|
||||
removal of their drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
The user space can effectively disallow the driver of the device to power manage
|
||||
it at run time by changing the value of its /sys/devices/.../power/control
