PM / runtime: add note about re-calling in during device probe()
The sh_eth driver has come up with an issue where the runtime_pm code suspends it during the probe() method due to the network device registration re-calling into the driver. Add a note about this into the documentation. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

enabled earlier by calling pm_runtime_enable().

Note, if the device may execute pm_runtime calls during the probe (such as
|

if it is registers with a subsystem that may call back in) then the

pm_runtime_get_sync() call paired with a pm_runtime_put() call will be
|

appropriate to ensure that the device is not put back to sleep during the

probe. This can happen with systems such as the network device layer.
|

|

It may be desirable to suspend the device once ->probe() has finished.
|

Therefore the driver core uses the asyncronous pm_request_idle() to submit a

request to execute the subsystem-level idle callback for the device at that
